Background to Strategic Vision
Oxfordshire is a unique location: what we do here matters, not just for the benefit of our residents and communities, but also for the wellbeing of the UK and communities across the globe.
We are at the frontier in addressing and solving the most pressing challenges facing humanity. We want Oxfordshire to thrive so that the lives of current and future generations are improved.
To achieve this will require bold, collaborative, and inclusive thinking to deliver real and lasting change in ways that build resilience and enhance environmental, social, and economic wellbeing. We will draw on our worldclass economy, our spirit of discovery and Oxfordshire’s global reputation to power this change through the adoption of clean and sustainable technology.
This Strategic Vision has been prepared by the collective leadership of the Future Oxfordshire Partnership (formally the Growth Board). The Future Oxfordshire Partnership comprises the six councils of Oxfordshire and key strategic partners.
