  • Oxfordshire: a Trailblazer for the UK Economy
    Oxfordshire: a trailblazer for the UK economy 2018 Future State Assessment DECEMBER 2018 A GUIDE TO THE SUITE OF OXFORDSHIRE INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY DOCUMENTS We have produced three reports which, taken together, set an understanding of the current Oxfordshire economy, its future growth potential and how we can work together to deliver the opportunities we have identified. Further information about what you can expect from each report is set out below. The Baseline Economic Review is an objective assessment of Oxfordshire’s economic performance to date. It explores how Oxfordshire has performed relative to the UK as a whole, as well as the relative performance of each district authority and different types of businesses and sectors within the county. This report provides detailed economic and spatial analysis that has helped us to shape and prioritise future plans for inclusive growth, productivity improvements and place-based developments, which are set out in the Oxfordshire Industrial Strategy. The Future State Assessment sets out what Oxfordshire has the potential to achieve. It introduces the context for why we are aspiring to be a top three global innovation ecosystem and what this means for Oxfordshire, as well as detail on the key industries in which Oxfordshire can be globally competitive. It details an ambitious economic growth agenda for Oxfordshire, along with the counterfactual ‘do nothing’ scenario that discusses the risks we face if we do not initiate a step change in growth. Finally this report sets out a spatial vision for Oxfordshire, to ensure that growth in Oxfordshire is achievable and sustainable. The Oxfordshire Industrial Strategy is the overall plan to deliver inclusive growth across Oxfordshire, drive productivity and innovation, and generate additional growth for the UK.
