The economic strategy for Bracknell Forest sets out how we will strengthen and improve the local economy and business sector.
We have published our first annual report of the economic strategy (PDF, 4.67MB), which provides an update on our 2024 to 2025 progress.
Bracknell Forest is an unbeatable place for companies to locate. We like to say it’s ‘where great business is in good company’ – and world leading names such as Dell, Fujitsu, Waitrose, 3M, Boehringer Ingelheim, Honda and Panasonic all agree.
Over the last decade more than £700 million has been invested into Bracknell Forest by a range of key stakeholders. As part of this, the creation of The Lexicon, opened in 2017, is one of the biggest transformations the borough has seen in 75 years.
Our newsletter contains updates for local businesses in the borough.

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is a central pillar of the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda.
We have been allocated a total of £1 million to be spent on identified projects across 2022 to 2025.
It is not hard to see why Bracknell is popular with foreign firms. It’s right on the M3 and M4 motorways, has good rail links, is close to Heathrow and has cheaper overheads and costs compared to London.

"Fujitsu are well established within Bracknell and have watched the area grow to include attracting many other multi-national organisations as neighbouring businesses. Fujitsu enjoy the diversity and richness of the business community as the area becomes increasingly established as the heart of Europe’s silicon valley.
Supporting other local businesses within the community is important as it enables the economy to continue to flourish and Fujitsu are proud to be part of the Business Improvement District which is quickly becoming established and attracting significant attention."
Maria Sabey, Head of Property, Fujitsu UK and Ireland
