Status: Outputs and outcomes completed
This project has seen the refurbishment of five key areas to promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) progression. This is set to have a major impact across several key sectors, including digital skills, engineering, and applied life sciences.
OxLEP is working to position Oxfordshire as one of the top-three global innovation ecosystems, highlighting its world-leading science and technology cluster, and to be a pioneer for the UK and our emerging transformative technologies and sectors. These have the potential to add up to £180bn to the UK economy by 2030.
Delivery Partner: The Henley College
To enable Oxfordshire to become a critical driver for UK economic-growth post-Brexit, OxLEP recognises the need to provide young people with clear pathways to develop the skills needed to secure employment opportunities created through our innovation ecosystems.
