Defence and innovative growth in Huntingdonshire

Located at the heart of Huntingdonshire’s Defence Sector, Alconbury Weald Enterprise Campus is uniquely positioned to support businesses involved in defence, from companies developing advanced technologies and manufacturing critical systems to those delivering intelligence-led solutions that strengthen the UK’s security and global standing.

Working in collaboration, Huntingdonshire District Council and the Ministry of Defence are committed to supporting the development of the North Huntingdon Growth Cluster – which includes Alconbury Weald Enterprise Campus – to deliver employment space and improved infrastructure that better connects Huntingdonshire with Cambridge, London and beyond.

Charlotte Horobin, Chief Executive of Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Huntingdonshire has a strong and growing reputation as a place where defence, innovation and business collaboration come together… supporting investment, skills and long-term economic growth.”
 
Forming part of the region’s wider ‘intelligence ecosystem’, businesses located at Alconbury Weald Enterprise Campus will benefit from proximity to Project FAIRFAX at the Wyton Campus, which is at the forefront of defence intelligence and innovation. 
 
By forming partnerships and working collaboratively with other organisations at the Enterprise Campus – as well as nearby academia and research institutions, technology hubs and industry networks – companies at Alconbury Weald will be able to improve, enhance and accelerate the development of defence capabilities.
