Kathryn Chapman, Innovate Cambridge’s Executive Director joins us to provide an update on the initiative which started 3 years ago to bring a strategy together that is now supported by over 200 companies and 500 individuals.
Focussed on three pillars - Frictionless Innovation – Value for the Local Community – Partnering to scale across the UK - the programme under Kathryn’s leadership is now moving into the delivery phase. We talk through last week’s Innovate Cambridge Summit and some of the other progress that has been made including:
· The new narrative to ‘sell’ Cambridge
· A co-created Life Sciences strategy, including the recently announced ARIA funding
· Building the tech strategy and amplifying the tech sectors voice
· Bringing Cambridge and Manchester closer together for the benefit of the local region as well as economic growth for the UK, including an update from Lou Cordwell
· An update on ‘The Glasshouse’ – a new hub for everyone to utilise that opens in November – a front door into Cambridge as people arrive and meet in Cambridge close to the central train station
· An announcement of The Cambridge Pledge – with an insight from Sara Allen as to how entrepreneurs and businesses can pledge and donate to solve regional social problems
