Cambridge is at the heart of the fastest growing economic region in the UK, and its success is built on the new economy - on knowledge-based businesses.
The cluster of high technology businesses in and around Cambridge has particular strengths in ICT,Life Sciences, AI and Cleantech, and 15% of the UK’s science parks are located within 10 miles of Cambridge.
The University of Cambridge – which celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2009 - is now playing a leading role in breaking down the barriers between science and business, and training the next generation of entrepreneurs.
The University's growing strength in knowledge transfer has helped to re-stimulate the “Cambridge Phenomenon”, encouraging international businesses to invest in research in Cambridge.
