Respondent: SEMLEP

Representation Summary:

SEMLEP is supportive of Bedford’s approach to commercial premises, which takes account of planned enhanced east-west connectivity across the Arc, and its likely positive impact upon knowledge-intensive jobs growth in the Bedford area (which could include spillovers from the Cambridge Life Sciences cluster, given the increased Government and Arc Universities’ focus upon this, and as Bedford already contains firms which specialise in diagnostics). SEMLEP's LIS and Economic Recovery Strategy both emphasise the importance of ensuring there are appropriate commercial premises for local businesses looking to scale up, and of helping further support the commercialisation of innovative ideas in the area.
