It promotes business and works in partnership with industry, the public and voluntary sectors. . The principal way in which this is done is via the CompeteFor service it launched in 2008, working closely with London Business Network and London 2012.
'CompeteFor',
CompeteFor acts like a 'dating' agency matching buyers throughout the 2012 supply chain with potential suppliers.
