Cambridge’s research and development industries, universities and specialist research institutions are revered worldwide.
The city and surrounding area has become home to a rich mix of technology based companies from established global businesses to a vibrant mix of start-ups and spin-out companies.

Beyond its famed universities and historic architecture – it is a city with a vibrant contemporary nightife and a flourishing food and drink scene. Its cultural offering features celebrated museums, theatres and art galleries, including the famous Fitzwilliam Museum – and with its fine collection of modern art – Kettle's Yard.
Closer to home, Bourn village offers excellent local amenities, including a gastropub, restaurants and shops, hotels, schools and an office park. For those looking for leisure activities there is lively sports club, as well as a golf club and gym.
In March of 2019 the Government outlined its ambitions for the Oxford – Cambridge Arc. Earmarking it as an area of significant economic potential and one of the most dynamic and innovative places in Europe today.
Currently the Arc is estimated to annually contribute approximately £111 billion Gross Value Added (GVA) to the UK economy – with productivity throughout the region some 8% higher than the national average. It is predicted that by 2050 this contribution to the economy could be
£300–£400 billion GVA.
In a project that is expected to last some 30 years or more, it is expected it will generate an additional 1 million jobs above the existing 2 million – with an additional 1 million homes required to realise this growth.
