From AI that trains surgeons, to cement made from demolition waste, Cambridge Tech Week has unveiled the five trailblazing finalists who will go head-to-head in its highly anticipated Innovation Alley Pitching Competition this September.

As the world stands on the brink of an AI revolution, Cambridge finds itself uniquely positioned to lead the charge. With its rich history of academic excellence, cutting-edge research and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, the city has all the ingredients to harness the power of AI. However, as we embrace this, we must also consider the implications of AI's integration into the creative industry.

Generously hosted by Rathbones, the event offered a taste of the energy and insights set to shape the full week-long event in Cambridge this September.
