Hosted by the Oxford–Cambridge Supercluster, the 2026 conference brought together senior figures from government, industry, academia and investment to explore how the UK can maximise the potential of the Oxford–Cambridge Growth Corridor as a globally competitive scientific powerhouse.
 

Taking place 18 months into the Government’s Growth Corridor programme, the event came at a pivotal moment as the focus shifted from ambition and commitment towards delivery and momentum.
 

Leaders from across science, technology, investment, development and government came together to share insight, strengthen collaboration and explore how the region can accelerate growth, unlock investment and compete globally from a position of strength.
 

In 2027, the conversation continues.
