Oxford North, the new innovation district taking shape in Oxford’s OX2, has been announced as a sponsor of Season 3 of Oxford+, the podcast series exploring the region’s innovation ecosystem.
Set to open in autumn 2025, Oxford North will offer 64 acres of mixed-use space, including the Red Hall, two new lab buildings, a public park, and a range of amenities. The first residents have already moved into the Canalside Quarter, delivered by The Hill Group.
Season 3 of Oxford+ comes at an important time for Oxford North, as the site prepares to welcome its first science and tech companies. The podcast series, launched in 2024, features conversations with key figures from across Oxford’s innovation landscape — including academics, investors, and founders — and is available on all major platforms.
“Oxford+ podcast series honours the full spectrum of Oxford’s innovation ecosystem and, through Susannah’s expertise and the calibre of her guests, offers invaluable insights and revelations. Whether you’re in Oxford, connected to Oxford, or from anywhere across the globe, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of this extraordinary place and the people tackling tomorrow’s biggest challenges. We are honoured to play our part in supporting Oxford+’s season 3, joining lead sponsor Mishcon de Reya, as we continue our mission of using placemaking to enable and help boost the next century of life-changing discoveries in science and technology right here in Oxford. Oxford+ highlights the depth and range of Oxford’s innovation community. We’re pleased to support Season 3 as part of our commitment to creating places that help drive scientific and technological progress.” – Victoria Collett, development director at Thomas White Oxford, the development company of St John’s College
The series is led by Susannah de Jager, who also served as a member of the Advisory Group for Advanced Oxford’s recent investment research. Season 3 launched on Monday 26 May, with the first episode featuring Jack Edmondson, Chief Investment Officer at Oxford Science Enterprises.
Oxford North joins existing partner Mishcon de Reya in supporting the podcast, which continues to offer fresh insights into what makes Oxford a global centre for innovation.
