Key Sectors
These are the areas that we at Huntingdonshire focus on for the best local development.

Huntingdonshire offers strategic access to RAF sites and major transport routes together with a skilled workforce, a growing tech cluster and affordable business parks meaning there's sufficient support for secure, high-tech defence operations. The district is also backed by regional funding and strong infrastructure, it's ideal for defence growth.
Advance Manufacturing
Advance manufacturing is Huntingdonshire's heritage and foundation sector. It has a mixture of long-established businesses that have been innovating for decades. This cluster boasts an enviable mix of strong traditional craft and skilled engineering labour pool that has attracted a new wave of R&D.
Digital and Technologies
Huntingdonshire is a flourishing technology hub on the northern edge of the silicon fen – the high-tech hotspot around Cambridge. High tech businesses are well represented with a variety of sectors including high value manufacturing, bio/life sciences, clean tech and ICT at the forefront.
Life Sciences
Huntingdonshire-based businesses are perfectly supported by the existing cluster of logistics and distribution companies. The transport infrastructure is second to none, being the key intersection of the north-south and east-west axis of road and rail links, including the A1(M), A14, M11, and the East Coast Mainline.
