  1. Trends, Investment and Award Winners with Business Weekly

    Trends, Investment and Award Winners with Business Weekly

    It’s not often that you get to talk to someone who has seen every press release and been part of innovation discussions for the last 35 years, not to mention who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the opportunities and challenges for our tech and science businesses. In this episode we caught up with Tony Quested and Jamie Quested to talk about not just their #BusinessWeeklyAwards, but the much broader impact and reach of Business Weekly since 1990. Here are some highlights ·       Current trends include a rise in genomics, synthetic biology, and quantum computing ·       The US will continue to buy up our companies, to access the brain power and innovation across Cambridge and the East of England cluster… ·       …but they will now keep the business here - like Featurespace (Visa), IQGeo (KKR), and Darktrace (Thoma Bravo) – rather than lifting and shifting to the US ·       The demand for 100,000 engineers by leading tech companies will require different thinking ·       The importance of ‘Brain Gain’ and how 70% (£1.65bn) of fundraising in the last year came out of the University of Cambridge… ·       … and how overall funding in the last year topped £2.3bn of which £1bn was for tech (remainder life sciences), and 50% of all funding went to Cambridge Science Park tenant companies ·       Whether our entrepreneurs are thinking strategically enough, especially when VCs and funders may have different priorities ·       And then we finally talk about the Awards, and the ability to spot the successes based on a level of due diligence that is incomparable.
