A new research report, Connective Capital, has been produced by Bidwells and Blackstock, with contributions from sixty leading thinkers in real estate, life sciences and academia. This report seeks to uncover how these sectors can work more cohesively to drive UK innovation, economic growth and deliver societal benefits within the Oxford-Cambridge Arc (the UK government-defined region running from Oxford to Cambridge). 

Our Director of Property & Estates and General Counsel, Belinda Fawcett, was invited to contribute to the report. Hear from Belinda, where she talks about the need for a blend of digital and physical infrastructure, allowing us to access work and leisure in a fluid, flexible, and multidimensional way.
