At the end of 2024, the KEE team commissioned Whitecap Consulting to assess the Northamptonshire ecosystem. The objectives of this were to:

• Create an ecosystem analysis that comprehensively explores and analyses
  Northamptonshire’s innovation capabilities, resources, and potential.
• Create a set of clear, evidence-based and actionable recommendations that will feed into the future economic policy, strategy, and vision for both West and North Northamptonshire local authority areas.
• Help shape the role of the University of Northampton in supporting the delivery of the vision and associated recommendations.

On the evening of 25th June 2025, the Northamptonshire Innovation Ecosystem report will be officially launched, providing insight into how Northamptonshire measures up against the key success factors of thriving ecosystems, while also identifying growth opportunities and potential threats for businesses.

Location: Town Hall, Ground Floor of the Creative Hub, University of Northampton, University Drive Northampton NN1 5PH
