Regional Development Solutions Limited (RDS)
We provide services to policy makers and practitioners working at the international, national and regional levels to assist delivery of sustainable and equitable regional economic
development. RDS was established in response to the growing demand for advice and support which reflects the changing realities of economic development, including
decarbonisation and just transition.
RDS recognises that successful economic and industrial development is a team effort set within a unique regional context, one that needs to engage numerous partners and work across differing geographic levels to optimise positive change. RDS provides a distinctive mix of services focused on supporting the creation and evolution of regional and local strategies, capacity building for delivery, project design and evaluation.
Strategy Development
RDS works with clients to develop strategies which recognise the unique assets, opportunities, challenges and legacies of regional and local economies. By working closely with the client and their partners, regional uniqueness can be matched with broader national and international drivers of economic, technical and social change to create strategies which are ambitious, bespoke, realistic and accepted by stakeholders.
Economic and Social Research
Economic and Social Research
RDS offers a range of research services relating to regional development, in areas such as industrial, urban, labour market and community development. These include: stakeholder analysis and consultation; regional, industrial and socio-technical fore-sighting; comparative analysis; and benchmarking.
Capacity Building and Institutional Development
RDS works with clients to develop the capacity to deliver and manage their strategies and achieve their goals. This not only relates to the development of capacity within a client’s organisation, including policy, practice and governance, but also identifying and facilitating the required relations and alignment between key institutions, partners and stakeholders, within the region and beyond.
