As well as celebrating the achievements of the LEP over the past 12 months, the AGM will mark the launch of the Bucks LEP funded new Drone Test and Development Centre at Westcott Enterprise Zone. The new Centre will help to shape and transform private and commercial aviation over the next decade and help facilitate growth in the Buckinghamshire economy and further establish the county as a global centre of excellence in drone and space technology.

In addition, the event will highlight the major growth and development in many of our key projects and schemes, including activity around our three Enterprise Zones, which have delivered 55% of all new commercial and industrial employment space in Buckinghamshire since their inception. In doing so they have transformed the business environment at Silverstone and Westcott and have already started to bring new investment into the Aylesbury Woodlands site.
