Subjects covered during 2010 have included: Bioengineering bugs, Growth capital, Space, Digital media and Policies to help technology entrepreneurs in Cambridge.

Many of our Open Meetings have been filmed by Cambridge Network member, Stream Projects, and you can see these online at: http://www.cambridgenetwork.streamprojects.com/

The format is typically as follows:
