Brighton & Hove Economic Plan 2024 to 2027

What the Economic Plan is

The Brighton & Hove Economic Plan outlines a strategic pathway towards creating an economy that is more competitive, productive, fairer and greener. This plan provides the groundwork for how the Council in collaboration with its partners will support, diversify, and adapt to stimulate economic growth in Brighton & Hove over the coming years.  

Accompanying this is an Action Plan for the first year of implementation, detailing a programme of initiatives aimed at creating a more prosperous city and a better Brighton & Hove for all. The Evidence Base that has informed the Plan can be found on our website. 

While this is a three-year plan, it also marks the beginning of a ten-year strategic vision guided by the following core imperatives: 

1. Capitalise on our digital competitive advantage
2. Build community involvement as a response to poverty and economic inequality
3. Decarbonise and create a more regenerative economy
4. Build a stronger, more inclusive labour market
5. Celebrate our city and welcome investment
6. A world-leading creative destination worthy of the UK’s best small city
7. Build new knowledge partnerships to benefit all of our communities
8. Thrive within a city region with a clear economic identity
