UK Startups and InnovationBackground
The Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor is an English innovation and investment region anchored by the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. It includes intervening centres such as Milton Keynes and Bedford. Research institutions, established Science and technology companies, and university spinouts form part of its economic base.

The corridor's development agenda combines business investment with connections between places. East West Rail is part of the effort to strengthen those connections, improving access to jobs and linking research and commercial centres. The policy also concerns the communities and infrastructure needed to support growth. Its identity therefore spans a region and its institutions, rather than describing a single university partnership or an individual investment fund.
