Editor's Notes
John Harvard was Harvard’s first benefactor
The University and its Colleges have been central to the formation and development of the cluster. Trinity facilitated the Cambridge Phenomenon by creating the world-famous Science Park in 1970.
St John’s built on this success by establishing its thriving Innovation Centre in 1987.
This is a full list of spin-outs from the history of the department
EDSAC: electronic delay storage automatic calculator (EDSAC) – constructed by Maurice Wilkes. It was the second usefully operational electronic digital stored-program computer. ARM: British multinational semiconductor and software deign company HQ in Cambridge
The University has continued to provide a flow of ideas, staff and graduates that have driven the continued growth of the Cluster economy – the third biggest contributor to the UK Treasury.
Cambridge has 1400 tech companies that employ more than 54,000 people directly – and estimates are that this number increases to north of 80,000 if you include their families
The first company I started was sold to Euromoney. The second was floated on the London and Nasdaq markets and was valued at more than £ 1 bn. The 40 companies that I have invested in employ 6000 people across 22 countries and turn over just under £ a billion pounds last year.

This shows the 50 fastest growing companies measured by employee growth. You can see that the 50 fastest growing companies employee 25,000 people and are responsible for revenue of 4.8 billion (of the 13 bn).
Ubisense – a company chaired by Andy Hopper, the head of the computer lab – floated this year on Aim.
