Global Capital
As we approach an era of unprecedented scientific and technological change, innovation and our creative potential will form the core of our collective identity.
Competing on the international stage and transforming the Oxford-Cambridge Arc into a scientific superpower that we can be proud of requires commitment – to investment, to talent and its cultivation, and the patience to capture the Arc’s long-term returns.
How do elevate the Oxford-Cambridge Arc’s standing as the UK’s irreplaceable engine of innovation?
Gathering the essential ingredients to elevate the Oxford-Cambridge Arc’s standing as the UK’s capital of innovation, connects us into a global network where the social value is infinite.
This is our edge; something that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. To take priority in a competitive world of global investment; to attract skills and talent from afar, and to generate social and economic returns that benefit the wider nation, we need to take this opportunity with both hands.
