Cambridge has a unique relationship between business and academia – bringing together high-tech innovative businesses and a world-renowned University, making it the most ‘vibrant’ city to live and work in England*.
Join us on 16 March 2017 for our Cambridge City Inquiry, along with a host of some of the most influential and innovative leaders from local business, not-for-profit and public sector organisations and the wider community.
This collaborative and thought-provoking session is to discuss, create and develop key themes that we can all take forward together to sustain a vibrant economy that enables the region to reach its full potential.
The Inquiry is being led in conjunction with Cambridge Ahead, a membership organisation focused on the long-term sustainable growth of Cambridge. Its aim is for Cambridge to be the pre-eminent small city in the world, defined by achieving long-term economic growth and a compelling quality of life. It will be a city where business, discovery, creativity, community and culture flourish together.
The focus on the day will build upon existing projects Cambridge Ahead has identified through discussion with its membership. These are considered essential for future growth and prosperity:
- – Education and skills
- – Housing and commercial space
- – Infrastructure: connectivity and transport
