About Cambridge

Software Development for Cambridge's Biotech & AI Innovation Cluster

Cambridge — the heart of 'Silicon Fen' — is one of Europe's foremost technology clusters, with over 5,000 knowledge-intensive firms employing more than 60,000 people. The ecosystem traces its roots to university spin-outs like ARM, Autonomy, and more recently Darktrace, and continues to attract record levels of venture capital. The Cambridge Science Park, St John's Innovation Centre, and the Babraham Research Campus provide specialist facilities for startups and scale-ups. AstraZeneca's relocation of its global headquarters to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus cemented the city's position as Europe's leading life-science hub, while the Agri-Tech East network supports a growing cluster of agricultural-technology firms serving the surrounding farming economy.
