We’re working to inspire, catalyse and amplify the new economy in Devon. We set up to share good practice, create connections, and spark initiatives that provide for both people and the environment.
New Prosperity Devon is founded on a few principles:
COLLABORATION by working together to amplify shared experience, ideas and intelligence through seminars and interviews.
LISTENING to the needs of citizens, institutions and landscapes, and working to find the common ground between them.
CONNECTION by joining up local stories and community conversations to regional and national issues.
EDUCATING and KNOWLEDGE SHARING, by seeking and amplifying lessons from those who are working to bring about the new economy.
