Build connections Networking is key to individual and company development. Businesses network to develop relationships with people and companies they may do business with now, and in the future. These connections help to establish rapport and trust among the business community. The Chamber provides many opportunities for members to widen their network of business contacts through building opportunities and maximising the benefits of being part of Cambridgeshire’s most vibrant business network.

Take this opportunity to catch up with familiar acquaintances you haven’t seen in a while, mingle with new business contacts and share knowledge and skills with like-minded professionals. We also hold regular structured safari networking events with guest speaker and breakfast. Or for something less structured, we hold regular sector events, social events and dinners.
