Thanks so much to everyone who came to our Gather-ing on Tuesday, particularly to our speakers and our hosts. We have received some valuable feedback so far, to make our next event on March 17th even better. Details of our online community available soon.

Key themes for me reflecting back on changes in the #tech scene in #Cambridge over the last 10 years are:
🟡 Bigger investment rounds: the East saw the highest increase in capital across the UK between 2015 - 2018 at 206% and had £583m invested into tech companies in the region💰

Thank you, Thea, for your insight and knowledge 👏🏻 fantastic evening with brilliant feedback. Let’s keep the conversation going...!

[Tech Nation East of England @tn_eastengland]

Great to be on the panel @gathercambridge's first event @WeWorkUK in #Cambridge - such an important discussion to be had around Cambridge for the 2020s. Think it is super important to question the impact of this growth and whether it is really sustainable over the next ten years?

[Gather @gathercambridge]

Thanks to everyone for coming to our first Gather-ing! Inspiring, interesting, and innovative. Full of pizza and pastry, too! Cannot wait to release the details for the next event. #cambridgeforthe2020s 👏🏻

“Maintaining an international presence and benchmarking on a world stage will be crucial. Look outside and get a global mindset”

Ryan at @WeWork says people within Wework in Cambridge speak to each other and collaborate more than he’s seen in other cities. #cambridgeforthe2020s

“It would be great to have more discussions with people rather than surface level networking” @tn_eastengland @TechNation

[Gather @gathercambridge]

“Gather is a great way of finding out what’s going on within the community. It connects the ‘pockets’ of Cambridge. I hope it will bring together all the other hubs and centres within the city” Maria @birkettsllp

[Gather @gathercambridge]

“Gather will give better human interaction within business in this city” Jon @Cambridge_Uni

[Gather @gathercambridge]

[Gather @gathercambridge]

“We need a diverse range of businesses in Cambridge, not just large corporates. Cambridge is about ambition but let’s not ignore the little shops.”

[Gather @gathercambridge]

Question: “what are you doing to reduce your staff and customers carbon footprint?” @jonholgate explains the largest impact it will make to the world’s carbon footprint however is in their research and marketing more than their independent initiatives”

[Gather @gathercambridge]

Question: “what are you doing to reduce your staff and customers carbon footprint?” @jonholgate explains that @Cambridge_Uni has some ambitious plans - by 2050 it will be carbon zero!!! Soon building a large solar farm outside of the city.

[Gather @gathercambridge]

Question: “what are you doing to reduce your staff and customers carbon footprint?” - @arcusglobal has bike to work schemes, sustainable offices, central initiatives. @birkettsllp are working to reduce paper use with apps and tech and choosing ‘easy to walk to’ offices.
