The Oxford Accelerator
Oxfordshire features a rapidly growing innovation ecosystem. We organised a gathering of investors, founders, entrepreneurs and university bodies to discuss investment trends/opportunities.
The Oxford Accelerator: In Oxfordshire, we now have arguably the fastest growing innovation eco-system in the world. To celebrate our region’s incredible achievements, Mills & Reeve has brought together investors, founders, entrepreneurs and individuals representing the University to discuss the investment landscape, market trends, insights, challenges and opportunities.
Part 1 – Accelerating innovation: Investors and Oxford
Despite national economic and global political uncertainty, Oxfordshire has continued to accelerate business innovation. It has one of the strongest economies in the UK, achieving an impressive 4% year-on-year growth since 2006, and has a vibrant and engaged investor community.
From the misconception that Oxford is all about the university to lessons we could learn from Cambridge, this report is full of insights and observations from the region’s leading influencers and decision makers.
