London Stansted Airport’s Post

London Stansted Airport is now a main strategic partner with The UK Innovation Corridor! The Corridor has generated 25% of England’s new knowledge intensive jobs since 2016 and is rapidly emerging in sectors including artificial intelligence, life sciences, and digital technologies.
