Report – Innovation Nation: The Regional Engines for National Growth

The UK stands at a critical turning point. For decades, national growth has been anchored within the ‘Golden Triangle’ of London, Oxford, and Cambridge. But the landscape is shifting and the map of UK innovation is being redrawn.

Using research from Beauhurst and featuring insights from business leaders across the country, this report offers a data-driven look at the network of regional ecosystems that are key to the country’s future competitiveness.

The report explores:

• The Rise of Regional Powerhouses: How cities like Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and Edinburgh are emerging as the regional cure to a national stall in growth
• The New Innovation Corridors: A look at the developing network of interconnected regions and the untapped collaboration potential that exists
• The Infrastructure for 'Stickiness': What's needed to ensure that world-class ideas can stay, scale, and succeed in the places they were born
• A Manifesto for Growth: Practical recommendations for policymakers, investors and developers

The question is no longer whether innovation can happen outside London — but whether the UK is prepared to build the systems required to support it.
