We endorse the proposal as it strengthens Cambridge’s role in the Oxford‑Cambridge growth corridor, delivers mid‑tech and advanced‑manufacturing capacity and aligns with the employment and economic objectives set out in the Development Strategy.

As an organisation that works closely with employers, education providers, and local partners, we see first-hand the importance of creating the right conditions for businesses to grow and for people to access meaningful, skilled employment. The proposals for Cambridge Science Park North respond directly by supporting mid-tech and advanced manufacturing activity, strengthening supply chains, and helping to retain talent, investment, and economic value within Greater Cambridge. Overall, we believe that the proposals for Cambridge Science Park North strike the right balance between innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity.
