A conference in London was told that this UK golden goose was in threat of being cooked by a lack of investment in improving its transport infrastructure.
Research published yesterday by the London Stansted Cambridge Consortium (LSCC) showed the region’s incredible international global competitiveness compared to other global high knowledge regions:-
- An average of 150 patents per million people are filed each year in Singapore – less than half the rate in Cambridgeshire – while Singapore spends an average of €1,100 per head on R & D each year – less than East Anglia at €1,332
- Jobs in the Greater Boston metropolitan area grew by 3.7 per cent from 2005-2013 – around half of the growth rate seen in the LSCC over the same period (9.1 per cent)
At a conference with over 200 delegates, the LSCC launched its Case for West Anglia Rail Line report, explaining that the corridor is a significant economic asset for the UK, with increasing global significance. However to maintain its global economic competitiveness it needs to invest in its infrastructure.
