But (#2)…
• “[..] we run the risk of turning into Cambridge, England: [..] We’ll create all the new ideas – but others will get too much of the benefit”
– Prof. Mike Best (UMass Lowell Center for Industrial Competitiveness) in “Choosing to lead: The race for national R&D leadership and new economy jobs” Centre for Technology Management
So what’s the USP for Cambridge?
• University strengths in ‘R’ • Commercial strengths in ‘D’ – Design, development, prototyping, batch production,.. • Good links between the two – R&D, business plan competitions, student projects (163 locally p/a), recruits, problem solving, company creation, training • Brand = Investment magnet • People (and their connections) Joe Marks Hermann Hauser Hermann Hauser Active Book Centre for TechnologyHermann Hauser Management Hermann Hauser Martin Jackson Cavenish Charles Smith Cambridge 3G David Cleeveley Tenison EDA Chris Curry Kinetics Peter Wynn Mike Muller Andy Hopper Entertainment Hermann Hauser Stephen Ives Harlequin Davi d Greaves S t eve Furber On-Line EO Incorporated Chris Wade Hermann Hauser Sophie Wilson Robert Swann Robert Sansom Peter Wynn IXI Ltd Hermann Hauser Mike Muller Jack Lang Hermann Hauser NetChannel Cambridge University Tudor Brown Cambridge David Cleeveley Cambridge Angels Alex van Someren Network Sir Alec Broer Jack Lang Nigel Brown Confidential Laurence Garrett CPU Acorn Stan Boland Hermann Hauser Simon Knowles Olivetti Chris Curry Icera ANT Element 14 General Information ARM Electronic Share System(GIS) Alex van Someren Simon Segars Hermann Hauser Stan Boland Orbis Information (E* Trade) Nicko van Someren Hermann Hauser ART Jack Lang Simon Knowles Cambridge Ring Robin Saxby Peter Wynn Olivetti Inskis Research Ltd Hermann Hauser Jamie Urquhart Daniel Hall Ray Anderson Hermann Hauser Andy Hopper nCipher IQ Bio Mike Muller Adrian Wrigley Daniel Hall Richard Friend Andy Hopper Mike Muller Hermann Hauser Tudor Brown Hermann Hauser Hermann Hauser Sir Alec Broer Hermann Hauser Chris Keightley Peter Wynn Simon Segars Andy Hopper Chris Curry TORUS Stephen Ives Duncan Stewart Hermann Hauser Plastic Logic Hermann Hauser Hermann Hauser Herman Hauser Richard Friend IPV (Telemedia Peter Wynn CDT Nigel Berry Systems Ltd) Stephen Ives Amadeus Capital Duncan Stewart Ives & Cos Ray Anderson Partners Andy Hopper Aspectives Hermann Hauser CCL Entropic Virata Hermann Hauser Stephen Ives Trigenix Stephen Ives CSR Phil O' Donovan Hermann Hauser AT &T Qudos Haroon Ahmed Ray Anderson Ltd Ray Anderson Professor Steve Young James Collier Smartner Andy Hopper Hermann Hauser Lawrence Garrett Hermann Hauser Glenn Collinson Charles Cotton Andy Hopper Adaptive Broadband Hermann Hauser Hermann Hauser Martin Jackson Michael Ledzion John Paul Auton Cambridge Broadband Polight Stephen Elliot Lawrence Garrett Cambridge Arakis (Sirus Technologies Real VNC Hermann Hauser Internetworking Pharmaceuticals) Globespan Andy Hopper Andy Hopper Chris Keightley Duncan Stewart Apama Virata Andy Hopper Andy Harter Hermann Hauser Tom Saylor Abcam Jonathan Milner John Bates Hermann Hauser Tristan Richardson Peter Wharton Peter Wynn Cambridge David Cleevely Andy Hopper CellCentric Conexant James Weatherall Peter Wynn Andy Richards Theranostics Hermann Hauser Hermann Hauser David Cleevely Hermann HauserArtimi Professor Azim Surani Jonathan Milner Level 5 Network Ubisense David Baker David Knowles David Cleevely Daniolabs Pete Steggles Mark Moore Hermann Hauser Hermann Hauser Andy Hopper Andy Hopper Jack Lang Ivan Petyaev Paul Goldsmiths Gosurprise Bango.net Charles Cotton Andy Ward Phico Andy Richards Sonial Shah Nujira Ray Anderson Therapeutics Hermann Hauser Hermann Hauser Tim Haynes Hermann Hauser Cogniscience Martin Wilson TeraView David Cleevely Cellmania Heather Fairhead Duncan Barclay Ronjon Nag Hermann Hauser Creature Labs Stephen Furber Shane Flint Mike Pepper Hermann Hauser Movement of people Hermann Hauser Don Arnone Ray Anderson Investee companies through VC firm Hermann Hauser Gameplay Solexa Q-Communications The people highlighted who are associated with University of Cambridge Shankar Balasubramanian (former/current researchers, faculty, staff or students) Mark Bernstein David Klenerman Tony Quested Hermann Hauser Tim Rink Kate Quested Mark Carthy Hermann Hauser Copyright – Y.M.Myint - [email protected], Centre for Technology Management
