Sponsors

Each year we are fortunate to obtain generous sponsorship and support, not only from around the Cambridge community but also from further afield. Without this support we would not be able to run this key event in the Cambridge calendar which has proven benefit to both the delegate and ‘home’ companies.

For the Cambridge Corporate Gateway Spring 2010 we were pleased to have the following organisations as sponsors and supporters:

**Our sponsors:**
	Cambridge Science Park was established in 1970 by Trinity College, Cambridge and is Europe's longest-serving and largest centre for commercial research and development. Trinity College invests in companies by providing the design and specialist fit-out of facilities in order to facilitate the process and ensure the success of technology transfer. Now home to over 90 hi-tech companies and more than 5,000 personnel, Cambridge Science Park continues to attract new businesses, from small start-ups and spin-outs to subsidiaries of multinational corporations. Companies on the Park include venture capitalists; biotechnology and pharmaceutical research organisations; and technology and telecommunications developers. The Cambridge Science Park is built on 152 acres of land. The Park provides specialist facilities and services for a range of R&D sectors across a spectrum of sizes to facilitate the organic growth of companies from start-up to floatation. The Science Park also provides businesses and staff with a modern conference centre, bar, restaurant, gym and squash courts. Web: www.cambridge-science-park.com
