“
The phenomenon of Cambridge, its university and its cluster, is an inspiring reminder of the great power of human ingenuity to create new enterprises and industries, to make life better and more productive for all of us. — Bill Gates, Foreword, The Cambridge Phenomenon: 50 Years of Innovation and Enterprise
The Cambridge Phenomenon: Global Impact takes a multi-faceted approach that allows the authors to examine not just particular product and service concepts that have emerged from Cambridge, but also the technology sectors and business model innovations that have been behind some of Cambridge’s biggest successes. They explore how the thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem has led to more than 25 of the largest corporations in the world – such as Amazon, AstraZeneca, Genzyme (a Sanofi company), Microsoft and Qualcomm – establishing operations in Cambridge to tap into the magic. They also discuss the less tangible factors that make the Cambridge cluster tick.
“
We hope to be first and alone in Cambridge for a period of time to access all the science that’s there. – Pascal Soriot, CEO, AstraZeneca, The Times, 20 January 2015
By examining the different ways in which Cambridge companies have succeeded internationally, the authors throw light on the unique and enduring qualities that make the Cambridge Phenomenon so special.
