Councils, LEPs and other partners in the Oxford-Milton Keynes-Cambridge Growth Corridor will join forces for the first time to promote investment opportunities at MIPIM UK.
The partners have one fundamental message; the Corridor is the location for transformational investment in knowledge economies for businesses and investors looking to deliver sustainable growth for the UK.
The Corridor covers the UK’s fastest-growing locations with a focus on economic growth, along with major infrastructure to help the region realise its full potential for innovation and technology clusters. It is already the UK’s leading growth location outside the City of London, contributing more than £90 billlion of annual GVA to the UK economy.
It is recognised by the Government as a powerful opportunity to compete globally as a knowledge-intensive cluster, supported by transformational investment through major infrastructure projects including the East West Rail Link between Oxford and Cambridge, the Expressway, A14 and A1 road network enhancements.
Nigel Tipple, Chief Executive of OxLEP, said: “Leveraging the two internationally-renowned cities of Oxford and Cambridge – on a global scale – will not only support the UK economy to make the most of what this wider region has to offer in terms of growth and productivity, but will also emphasise the place potential offered right across the corridor.”
Household names including Astra Zeneca, BMW MINI, Lockheed Martin, Pinewood Studios, Amazon and Mahle are based in the Corridor, along with world-class research establishments and business parks including Cranfield University and Technology Park, Silverstone Technology Park, Millbrook Technology Park, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and Culham Science Centre.
Members of the Growth Corridor team will be at stands E09 to E14 at MIPIM UK on October 17 and 18 at Olympia.
Events will be hosted at the stand and in the showcase area.
If you would like to be involved with the Growth Corridor stand, discounted tickets are available. The stand has been jointly enabled by UK Property Forums for the LEP partners and Central Bedfordshire Council on behalf of the Corridor’s Central Area.
