The Northern Evidence Hub has been developed as part of the Northern Powerhouse Independent Economic Review (NPIER) work programme.

Transport for the North

Transport for the North's vision is of a thriving North of England, where world class transport supports sustainable economic growth, excellent quality of life and improved opportunities for all, and the Northern Evidence Hub supports this vision by better informing evidence-based policymaking.

NP11

The NP11 is the business-led voice for the North that brings together the 11 Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) from across the North of England. The Northern Evidence Hub supports the NP11’s priorities for driving economic prosperity to build a well-connected Northern Powerhouse, including:

  • Trade and Investment
  • Clean Growth
  • Connectivity
  • Innovation
  • Supply Chains
  • Placemaking

Convention of the North

The Convention of the North has the aim of bringing together the North’s political, business, community and academic leaders around a common agenda for the future of the North. The Convention appeals for Government backing for their ambition, from transport investment to job creation, to close the North-South divide. The NEH supports this by allowing every Northern stakeholder the facility to share knowledge with the common goal of rooting Northern policy in evidence.
