About this webinar:
Over many centuries some towns, cities, harbours have always been wonderful hubs for entrepreneurship. We can find these on spice routes, the silk road and in more modern times the importance of Silicon Valley, Boston and Cambridge have been recognised. What can we learn from such places? During this webinar, there’ll be a short presentation about how Cambridge has developed from a rural small town into a city which has incubated nearly 5,000 high tech firms of which at any one time some 1500 provide 40,000 jobs.
The webinar will be based on a wonderful narrative from a book called The Cambridge Phenomenon – told by one of the co-authors, Mr Charles Cotton who was previously Director of one of the first $1bn companies of Cambridge that gave birth to faster internet speeds.
