Advanced Oxford is a membership organisation with members drawn from R&D based/innovative companies working across Oxfordshire. Our membership includes companies, as well as Oxford’s two Universities, the NHS and providers of innovation infrastructure and support. Advanced Oxford was set up in response to the Oxford Innovation Engine Update report. Published in 2016, the report identified the need for stronger engagement from the innovative businesses in Oxfordshire in the work to develop the region as a centre of excellence and an engine room for innovation. Work to scope and set up Advanced Oxford started in 2017. We have an established team, published research and live projects that will take us forward into 2025 and beyond. In 2024 continued with our workplan, established in 2023, that will take us forward into future years. Further information about Advanced Oxford, our members and our work can be found on our website, www.AdvancedOxford.com. Our website contains our research publications and information on live projects. Advanced Oxford is research-led, providing analysis and a united voice for our members on the key issues affecting the development of the innovation ecosystem in the Oxford region. We generate our own research and work to support and inform key stakeholders involved in the development of the business environment, infrastructure and policy. Advanced Oxford is working to support the long-term development and success of the Oxford region as a place to live and work. We do this by drawing on our collective experience of setting up, running or working in knowledge-based, innovation-focused businesses and organisations. We use our connections to other businesses to generate evidence and undertake research. We want to support the long-term development and success of the Oxford region as a place to live and work. While we have an active interest in issues that impact on growth – housing, transport, skills and talent etc – we are also interested in the lived experience, which is why we previously conducted research into Quality of Life. We also work with other organisations, supporting regional activities, for example our Managing Director sits on the steering committee of the Oxford Inclusive Economy Partnership and represents Advanced Oxford on the Oxford – Cambridge Supercluster Board.
Consultation with stakeholders of Advanced Oxford CIC (i.e. members and other interested parties such as non-member companies, district councils and Oxfordshire LEP) takes place on regular basis, both through face to face meetings, individually and collectively, and through e mail communications, surveys, workshops and interviews. Consultation work has informed Advanced Oxford’s work plan and priorities and the plan has been approved by our Board, which includes representatives from our membership. Meetings tend to take place in person, including member meetings, which typically take place 2 to 3 times a year.
During the year, payments totalling £76,678 (2023: £77,413) were paid to Goodlowe Limited, a company of which Sarah Haywood (director of Advanced Oxford CIC) is the director and sole shareholder, in respect of management services provided to the community interest company.
