The United Kingdom (UK) is facing a series of long-term economic challenges. To confront increasing regional inequality, flagging productivity and an ever-widening skills gap, universities and local businesses need to work together better. University Enterprise Zones (UEZs) offer a promising solution. The report, "Our Universities: Generating Growth and Opportunity" (ED625777), listed four key recommendations for the UK Government to help enable universities to work with businesses and local government to kickstart growth and opportunity in left-behind areas of the UK. One of the key recommendations was for the government to establish a University Enterprise Zone (UEZ) in every university in England. It also recommended that devolved administrations consider similar developments in the context of UK and devolved economic policy. At the moment, UEZs are an England-only programme. However, universities are involved in similar programmes across the devolved nations, such as Interface in Scotland and Enterprise Zones in Wales. UEZs are a pre-existing programme which have been evaluated by the government to provide excellent return on investment, especially in left-behind areas.
