It is a great time to be a deeptech investor working with so many amazing entrepreneurs 😊. So, perfect timing for @cic_vc to close its £225m fund II to help build some amazing deeptech companies 🚀🚀 (no 🧵 today 🙈) https://t.co/J2zMUjQ4i5

💯💯 @lawrennd. The exec summary is a must read for anyone thinking about near/long term opportunities/risks enabled by LLMs... and very well balanced. Credit where credit is due @UKHouseofLords

Very impressed by the coverage and quality of these recommendations.

Earlier this year, Andrew Williamson, CIC’s Managing Partner, was invited by @hmtreasury to co-author an Independent Review of the UK’s University Spin-out Ecosystem alongside Professor Irene Tracey, Vice-Chancellor of @UniofOxford

Over the course of the last 6 months, they spoke to the key stakeholder groups associated with the UK’s University Spin-out ecosystem and conducted the most comprehensive survey of founders ever, with over 650 startup companies and founders sharing their journeys.

The review and set of recommendations were published by @hmtreasury today

One of the best threads on UK semiconductor strategy I have read today. Nicely done @neil13r

[Neil Ross @neil13r]

It’s finally here the 🇬🇧semiconductor strategy from @SciTechgovuk, so what does it mean and how is the industry likely to react? Sorry longish thread (1/10)

[Ian Lane @IanMLane]

6) Looking forward to continue working with @cic_vc's semiconductor investment ecosystem partners; @UCamEnterprise, @NorthGritstone, @SemiconStartUps, @DeepTech_labs, @OxfordSciEnt

5) We expect the UK’s National Semiconductor Strategy will support CIC's existing semiconductor investments scale and help CIC make more investments in this critically important sector.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Cambridge Innovation Capital @cic_vc]

We're delighted to have backed Giorgia & team @camgandevices in this latest round. Commercialisation of CGD’s tech comes at an important point, as we look for techn enabled solutions to lower power consumption across applications, as diverse as phone chargers & data centres.

[George Freeman FRSA MP @MPGeorgeFreeman]

Important piece in @FT on why:

🔬UK investment in University R+D is so key to UK economic prosperity, industry investment, Levelling-Up, innovation & productivity.
