The North of England Inward Investment Agency (NoE, North of England, North England) is a UK government sponsored agency that represents two regional development agencies (RDAs) in North England: Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and One NorthEast (ONE). NoE’s primary function is to work as an ambassador to businesses and therefore attract targeted inward investment to the North of England region. NoE provides a link between businesses considering European expansion or relocation and resources in North England.〔North of England Inward Investment Agency (North of England Inward Investment Agency )〕 Once a company makes the decision to expand or relocate into North England, NoE’s function changes to be a bridge for that transition, working to connect new inward investment companies with the people, resources, funding and more to help minimize risk and increase profitability. Some of the planning services that NoE provides to potential inward investment companies include: industry trends analysis, recruitment and training assistance, matching skills provision to employer needs, site location assistance, legal/customs/taxation information, introductions to private funding, links to academia, as well as UK and region specific economic and market information. With several offices located throughout the U.S. and Canada NoE targets specific industries that would benefit from the infrastructure in place in the UK. These specific industries include: ''Life Sciences (), Energy and Environment (), IT and Media (), Advanced Engineering (), and Professional Services ()''. NoE was established under the (Regional Development Agencies Act 1998 ), all of which were formally launched in eight English regions on 1 April 1999. It is funded from six Government departments: *Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform; *Department for Communities and Local Government; *Department for Culture, Media and Sport; *Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; *Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills; *UK Trade & Investment Each RDA is led by a Chair and a Board of 15 people. The RDA Chairs meet regularly with each other and with Government ministers to advise on national policy. They provide a regional perspective informed by work on the ground with partners and by the extensive consultations they hold in the regions. RDAs help central government ensure that local conditions and local needs are fully taken into account when they draw up national policy. ==The Region== The North England region encompasses the cities of Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and Sunderland.
