The conference will be one of our biggest ever. These are interesting times for regional policy in many parts of the world. In England there is a substantial change in policy focus taking place with the coalition government replacing Regional Development Agencies with Local Enterprise Partnerships which have considerably less funding and uncoordinated geographies. Internationally, including recently in the USA, there seems to be growing recognition of the importance of space-based policies but such patterns are uneven. Meanwhile, in Europe, the recent publication of DG Regio’s Fifth Cohesion Report highlights success on the ground but that much remains to be done. Indeed member states now face the need to deliver against the ambitious targets laid out in Europe 2020. There will be much to discuss.
