The East of England region has a strong history of industrial and scientific innovation and success, examples of which include the first heart transplant in the UK and the discovery of the structure of DNA. There are numerous science parks in and around Cambridge which are home to biotech, life science and clinical research companies. The proliferation of high technology companies has led to the area being dubbed “Silicon Fen”. Logistics is also a major employer in the region thanks to Luton and Stansted airports and the ports of Harwich and Felixstowe.
