  6. Potential first project development • Develop micro/macro energy systems - increase productivity & develop “at scale” pilots such as retrofitting • Coastal Educational Performance • Collaborate with further & higher education - increase access, innovation, R&D • Development of Freeports • Establish Place Shaping Board – oversee regeneration, housing acquisition, Economic Sustainability Leverage Fund • Enhanced connectivity - transport & digital
