The resulting strategy is a 10-year programme with an ambitious vision to name Cambridge as the most impactful and important innovation ecosystem in the world.
We were born out of a unique relationship with the University of Cambridge and we maintain privileged access to its most inspiring ideas and people in life sciences and deep tech.
Cambridge is a globally competitive ecosystem. The ecosystem has grown significantly over the last 30 years, with 5,000+ knowledge intensive businesses generating revenues in excess of £24bn per annum, the world’s highest concentration of academic entrepreneurs and 24 companies with an exited value of at least $1bn.
We can achieve even more.
