Welcome to the Cambridge Tech Week wrap episode (yes wrap not rap Faye - but do get ready for the end as the musical references keep going and you’re not going to want to miss what James says).
This episode includes highlights from the core and connect events, our takeaways from some of the sessions and conversations that we had, a selection of the fringe events, and some additional exclusive interviews.
