Innovation led business growth is at the heart of Oxfordshire's City Deal which will establish four innovation hubs along Oxfordshire’s ‘knowledge spine’ at Harwell and Culham in the south to the life science BioEscalator in Oxford and the advanced engineering hub at Begbroke in the north. The deal is set to create 19,000 high level jobs and 31,400 in construction. Plans include a raft of business support measures, a £1.5 million investment in skills training and over 500 new apprenticeships. Business expansion will be supported by major improvements to transport links, including the A34 and the A40 ‘Northern Gateway’ with a new link road from the A40 to the A44 and improvements to the Cuttleslowe and Wolvercote roundabouts. A new Oxford Science Transit scheme will provide a high frequency link along the knowledge spine.Click here for more information
