This Government is fully committed to levelling up across the whole of the UK. The funding for the Oxford to Cambridge arc is one of ten grants we have provided across all parts of the UK to support space sector growth and connect the space sector ecosystem. The activity delivered by the Open University will reach into the South midlands and across to East Anglia and will ensure expertise in the region is accessible to the whole of the UK and vice versa.
