The team developed a comprehensive index of assets capturing local strength and opportunities drawing on published data, innovative research and consultation insight which informed a strong economic narrative in the prospectus. This evidence base was incorporated into the region’s Oxford to Cambridge Data Observatory including the Oxford to Cambridge Partnership Area Socio-economic Data Dashboard.
Working extensively with the Partnership and the Department for Business and Trade, the team engaged with the region’s stakeholders to create a digital atlas of projects and strategic collaborations with the Oxford to Cambridge region to match with prospective investors. The final prospectus tells the global story of the region’s R&D and innovation strengths as a science and technology supercluster that is creating healthier lives and a more sustainable planet. The prospectus:
- Introduces the scale and quality of the region’s assets and priorities
- Sets out current suite of investment propositions
- Highlights the region’s credentials and recent investment successes
- Outlines how the Partnership can work with international investors
The prospectus was launched at UKREiiF in 2024 and is being promoted widely by the Partnership and key stakeholders to secure inward investment across the region.
