A team presentation from both public and private sectors from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough at: "Tech Nations: Toward building the Next Generation of France-British Tech Trailblazers", hosted by Lord Ed Llewellyn, and organised by DIT France, led by Oriel Petry, and her Technology Team (led from Lyons by Isabelle Hurley). The event focused on Smart Cities, Cybersecurity and the Creative Industries, and the team comprised representatives from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority about our role and ambitions, and two local companies with a global customer base: Telensa and Darktrace about their cutting-edge products and services in e.g. smart lighting and threat detection. References were also made to promote e.g. Cambridge Network, Cambridge Ahead, CW, Cambridge Cleantech and the REACTOR applied gaming incubator / accelerator at Anglia Ruskin University. Games Eden's Chair was in the audience. The audience (mainly Franco-British) were Industrial CEOs, Regional Leaders and Entrepreneurs. UK CEOs giving keynotes were Gerard Grech of TechNation - who gave as an exemplar the new Bradfield Centre incubator / co-working space on Cambridge Science Park - and Jeremy Silver of the Digital Catapult. The Ambassador also welcomed all to his home, and encouraged collaboration on technology across the Channel. This key event - held in such a flagship prestigious venue - also gave the opportunity to apprise a French audience of the @CambsPboroCA strategic priorities, around the key theme of being the leading place in the world to live, learn and work and opened the dialogue with our Embassy on potential future metro Mayoral exchanges. Specific outcomes thus far include several useful commercial interactions e.g. on CAVs, and also with a London-based SME.
