reputation of being among the world’s best academic healthcare organisations, and ACT’s aim is to support those achievements by raising funds for cutting-edge technology, additional specialist staff, environmental enhancements and extra comforts for patients that make all the difference. The Charity also provides seed funding for early stage research projects, supporting the hospitals’ clinical academics keen to embark on a research career. This funding then often leverages more ambitious research funding opportunities, and as such can be an essential component in identifying global cures and advances in treatment.

CITY OF CAMBRIDGE Cambridge is one of the most ancient of cities as well as one of the world’s fastest growing business clusters. With a population of only 120,000, the city has more billion dollar companies than much larger UK cities, near fullemployment and productivity levels 30% above London. Key to this is the expansion of the Addenbrooke’s site as the new Cambridge Biomedical Campus is built. This will be a worldclass centre of excellence in biomedical related research, patient care and education. By 2020, it will be one of the leading biomedical centres in the world. Cambridge is also rapidly becoming the most exciting technology cluster in Europe, with companies such as Microsoft and Apple alongside exciting start-up companies, with a total of some 4,000 knowledge-intensive firms. The City has one of the highest concentrations of Nobel prize-winners in the world. Regularly voted one of the top 10 places to live and work in the UK, Cambridge has become an increasingly dynamic and desirable place to live and work.
