ABOUT CAMBRIDGE
Cambridge is the UK Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation, the largest technology cluster in Europe and one of the most respected tech and innovation hubs in the world.
The city’s strong entrepreneurial ecosystem builds on the Cambridge’s long history of invention which includes: the reflecting telescope, the hovercraft, the pacemaker, IVF, DNA, the pregnancy predictor test, wireless Internet, inkjet printing, Bluetooth, smart meters, round teabags and, of course, good old Alexa (to name but a few).
Unsurprisingly, Cambridge receives four times the amount of tech investment per head than London and boasts more patents published per resident than any other in the UK.
Around 61,000 people are employed here in over 5,000 knowledge-intensive firms, which have combined annual revenue of over £15.5 billion.
