Communication	Regular communication around sector ideas, opportunities and information, new bids and important changes.
Innovation	Innovation groups; key partners working together on subjects of relevance, for example workshops, thought events or innovation events hosted around key topics e.g. new opportunities, sectors, geographical locations, responding to or creating new opportunities.
Strategy	Strategic partnership working with a key relationship partner, building long-lasting, mutually beneficial, dynamic relationships bespoke to each partner: e.g. shared intelligence, critical friend, feedback, complimentary use of facilities, resource and sponsorship.
