Isle of Wight Economic Overview

As leaders of the Isle of Wight economy, IWEP plays a key role in developing strategies which will shape the Island’s future. 

The Isle of Wight has shown rapid economic growth over the last ten years and the Economic Strategy will be our method of maintaining this growth in the future.

The Economic Strategy focuses on how to maximise productivity and create more wealth for the Island. It looks at recent and predicated trends for our various business sectors and suggests some of the things we could do to maximise growth and create more value. 

This strategy covers the period 2006 – 2011, though it should be viewed as a living document and may evolve during the period to take in new opportunities and trends.
