Milton Keynes at the heart of the digital revolution

Milton Keynes is the future.

From driverless cars, enabled by Milton Keynes’ unique grid system as part of the UK’s largest self-driving car project, to MK:U – a new university designed to meet urgent tech and skills gaps, Milton Keynes is at the cutting edge of the new digital age.

Our development at The Square at Brooklands is based in the heart of our tech town, itself located in the Cambridge-Milton Keynes-Oxford corridor (CaMKOx). This newly established tech area boasts four of the UK’s fastest growing and most productive places – including Milton Keynes thanks to its highly skilled labour force, cutting edge research facilities and technology clusters that compete on the world stage.

For residents at The Square at Brooklands this is great news as it means those living here have the opportunity to live and work in an exciting, growing area, with lots of job opportunities (big businesses like Santander and Siemens are based here) – and the MK Data Hub incubates tech start ups here too.

But our favourite tech feature of Milton Keynes…?

That award has to go to Starship – your friendly, if not robotic, neighbour, who can deliver anything and everything to your door at The Square at Brooklands.

Starship robots are part of the furniture around here, and you’re likely to see these wheelie devices making their way around the neighbourhood delivering anything from milk to packages, to our residents.

The Square at Brooklands is the first neighbourhood in Milton Keynes to welcome the robots; how cool is that! They’ve completely revolutionised food and package deliveries; using mobile technology (you just need an app on your phone) alongside autonomous robots, Starship work with the stores and restaurants located around our neighbourhood, meaning they can bring everything directly to your front door.

And, as of next year some famous name takeaways and independent eateries will open here, it’ll bring a whole new meaning to meals on wheels…

Stay tuned, Brooklands has a lot more to share with you. We'll be sharing everything you need to know about Brooklands and Milton Keynes on our Facebook Page, like it to stay up to date.
