The five partners are:

It is the largest of several City Deal programmes taking place in the UK and brings key partners together to work with communities, businesses and industry leaders to support the continued growth of one of the world’s leading tourism and business destinations.
The Greater Cambridge city region has achieved growth and success on an international scale, with an enviable status as a global hub of technology and innovation.
