One North East – Inward Investment and Aftercare Team One North East is the Regional Development Agency (RDA) covering North East England. It was set up in April 1999 to help the people of the North East create and sustain jobs, prosperity and a higher quality of life. Our aim is to build a vibrant, self-reliant, ambitious and outward-looking region by promoting the benefits of living, working and doing business here. The Inward Investment and Aftercare team at One North East provides a single point of contact for investors, giving access to a network of local knowledge and expertise, market intelligence and funding opportunities. The team sits at the hub of the knowledge economy in the North East and its skills lie in analysing projects on a case-by-case basis and guiding investors to the most appropriate resources. Working closely with international offices in Japan, China, the USA, Korea, India, Sweden and Norway, the team helps to establish a clear path for investors. Gun-Marie Östedt-Axelsson is the Swedish representative and liaises closely with the Investment team in the North East.
