Cambridge Pledge

The Cambridge Pledge

The Cambridge Pledge is central to the Innovate Cambridge Strategy - leveraging innovation for social impact.   

Inspired by visionary initiatives like The Founders Pledge and Life Sciences Cares, The Cambridge Pledge offers our innovation community a route to help address the region’s most pressing challenges.

Founders and investors – with equity, or carry – can pledge part of their future wealth. While those with existing liquidity/ wealth – including companies with CSR budgets and anchor institutions – can give now with a charitable donation.

The Cambridge Pledge will principally deploy capital through impact investments – made to maximise social impact (alongside a modest financial return).

This demonstrate the potential of impact investing to foster meaningful change, serving as a model for other regions, and innovation ecosystems. And it will see Cambridge become a world leader in social innovation alongside its existing academia, life-sciences and technology accolades.

Innovate Cambridge is proud to invite you to part of this transformative movement. Find out more about how you can pledge to drive change and shape a better future, see below:
