Right in the middle of things.
Few cities in the U.K. have as much going for them as Milton Keynes.
As of 2019, Milton Keynes College was granted £28 million by the Department for Education to build an Institute of Digital Technology at Bletchley Park.

Aside from codebreakers, MK boasts more modern technological achievements. The Red Bull Racing F1 team has been present in Milton Keynes since its formation in 2005. The success of the team has over the last 14 years has seen an increased motorsport presence across the city and has again led to the presence of cutting edge technological innovators in Milton Keynes.
Purpose built.
Milton Keynes was designed to nurture businesses and stimulate growth. When considering options for new ventures in the U.K. Milton Keynes would be at the top of any list.
From Nifty Lifts to Network Rail national and international businesses are flooding to MK to take advantage of its geographical and technological assets.
