Future Capital
The Oxford-Cambridge Arc is a long-term aspiration that will position the UK as a world-class destination for talent and creative commercialisation of original research.
But for the Arc to truly reflect the needs of its population, it must be an intergenerational endeavour which brings into its orbit the full constellation of communities which call it home. By fostering an approach to the Arc which is inclusive, open and accessible, supercharging the aspects which set it apart on the world stage will provide long-term growth which generates dividends for local communities.
What will the Arc’s communities of the future look like, and how do we bring every stakeholder in the region’s society on this journey?
