INVEST Essex is Essex County Council’s inward investment activity. We promote Essex as an outstanding business destination and help existing and potential investors make the most of our strategic location, thriving business environment, and quality of life.

We provide confidential advice and practical support to companies wanting to establish a presence or expand in the UK. We help companies find the right premises and support them with market and supply chain information, access to professional services, skills and recruitment, academic links and networking opportunities.

We engage with existing companies to understand the challenges and opportunities affecting their competitiveness and plans for growth, and develop bespoke interventions in response to their needs.
