## Notice

This project is to deliver a State of the Region Review and interactive dashboard most likely embedded on the Cambridgeshire Insight website. This seeks to build on the highly regarded approach and analysis used to produce the evidence base which informed the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER). This is an important piece of work that will be used to inform the CPCA Strategic Planning process as shown below, along with future devolution deals and strategy and policy development. The State of the Region Review is not just for use by the CPCA but for the whole region. Constituent councils and partners have actively been involved in scoping this review and it is expected that the output will be widely used by them to maximise the impact of this commission.
