region. They also run a Business Map website to allow
businesses to quickly identify the information, advice or other
support that's right for them. In addition, EEDA has
set up a support mechanism to help businesses, particularly SMEs in
the region to understand and gain access research and development
funding.

In January 2011, the Government confirmed that
the regional Business Link advisory services, including Business
Link in the East of England, are to close on 25 November
2011. However, the Department for Business, Innovation and
Skills will continue to run a national Business Link in the form of
a revamped website; a national call centre; a network of at least
40,000 experienced business mentors; and a national Business
Coaching for Growth support programme to assist high growth small
and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
