Leaders Collaborating for Progress
The fundamental principle underlying the approach and activities of Atlantic Way is based on various interests and organisations acting collaboratively in pursuit of shared goals

These goals include: the development of a world-class region of excellence; the advancement of significant strategic projects and capitalising on the Region’s strategic location between East and West.

Within this approach, each group and organisation retains its own identity and role but comes together and collaborates in order to achieve shared objectives.

Atlantic Way’s ‘Vision 2020’ document sets out an overall agenda for our programme of work, with several working groups, or Action Groups, focused on achieving the key objectives set out in ‘Vision 2020’.

These Action Groups include Enterprise; Connectivity, Infrastructure and Logistics; Knowledge; Culture and Creativity; Tourism and Leisure; Environment, and Marketing.
