Motorsport Valley is driving economy forward

Silverstone – which sits between Banbury to the west and Milton Keynes to the east – is the heart of the advanced tech sector in the Arc. It is home to 40 advanced manufacturing companies, testing facilities for materials and vehicles, the Silverstone circuits including the iconic F1 Circuit, and a rapidly growing Enterprise Zone.

There are more than 4,000 companies, employing 36,000 people, operating in this sector and based within a one-hour radius of Silverstone. This brings significant benefits of co-location, networking and a specialist skills pool with strong local roots, with the scope to accommodate further business growth opportunities for high value manufacturing.
