World-leading, globally connected innovation clusters will create more jobs, productivity and growth, and boost private sector investment.

That is why, alongside £790 million investment in R&D by UK Research and Innovation in the East of England in 2020-21, we are supporting key clusters of R&D excellence such as Freeport East to become hotbeds of innovation.
