Devon Renaissance
Devon Renaissance is a not for profit partnership of the private sector, local authorities and community-based organisations. Funded primarily by the South West Regional Development Agency, the programme provides grant funding in order to help create prosperity and jobs and improve access to services in rural areas.
We are delighted to announce that we have now allocated all our available funding. We have achieved this target quicker than we had anticipated, and it means projects helping to improve the economy of rural Devon have been approved in a much shorter timescale. All our existing projects are proceeding as planned and we will be able to give a full report on how our support has benefited rural Devon in due course.
However our success does mean that for the time being we are unable to accept any new proposals which require immediate funding. When our new funding streams are agreed we will, of course, be looking for new projects and we are happy to discuss and give advice on possible projects ahead of this time.

Survey of Rural Devon's Businesses
Devon Renaissance have conducted a comprehensive business survey of businesses across rural Devon. The survey looks at the make up of businesses in the area and at their intentions, skills requirements & training, competition & markets, constraints on their growth and productivity, innovation and where businesses go to for advice.
