The wider Cambridge community
The Cambridge ecosystem is a unique and dynamic environment, organically grown from the activities and passions of members of the University of Cambridge, industry, investors and others in support of entrepreneurship and innovation.
Our Cambridge connections
We nurture close connections and strong working relationships with a broad range of stakeholders in the wider Cambridge ecosystem in order to support start-ups and spin-outs. These include serial entrepreneurs, professional services companies, angel investors, venture capitalists, accelerators, and incubators.
Cambridge& provides a wealth of information and resources on the wider ecosystem.
Our services for external organisations
We act as a bridge between the expertise and disruptive research emerging from the University and our immediate business environment to help transfer innovative technologies and knowledge to businesses. This bedrock of entrepreneurial activity in turn creates a solid foundation for our wider outreach work throughout the UK and internationally. Our services for external organisations include licensing and investment opportunities, facilitating academic consultancy services and international outreach.
