New Business Weekly Award to honour a special Cambridge Tech Week champion
More details of the showcase will be released at a launch event being held at Mills & Reeve’s Botanic House HQ in Cambridge on Thursday (February 15). Speaking at the event will be David Moore, CEO of Pragmatic Semiconductor, Carmen Palacios-Berraquero of Nu Quantum and Pam Garside, the first woman Chair of Cambridge Angels.
Cambridge serial entrepreneur Stan Boland (CEO at FiveAI), Manjari Chandran-Ramesh (Partner at Amadeus Capital) and Cian Hughes (Partner, Sure Valley Ventures) will be presenting at a similar event in London next week to encourage more visitors to Cambridge in September.
Once again, the objective of CTW is to highlight how Cambridge brainpower is helping to transform the way people live and work the length and breadth of the planet.
A new feature of CTW 2024 is a joint venture between CTW and Business Weekly. The initiative takes the form of a new competition, the format of which is currently under wraps. Initial thinking is that the CTW prize will involve some element of scale-up success. The prize will form a fresh Cambridge Tech Week category in the 34th annual Business Weekly Awards.
Chris Bruce, chair of CTW, will unveil more details on how and when to enter, rules of engagement and the objectives of the contest in the Spring. No announcement on the outcome will then be made until the winner is unveiled at our annual prize-giving banquet – this year being held at Queens’ College, Cambridge on Wednesday, September 11.
Business Weekly will bring you more details after Thursday’s official launch. We will be carrying ongoing editorial focuses on companies, entrepreneurs and topics as they unwind in the build up to the week.
Finer details will be added on an ongoing basis so stay tuned to announcements as via the CTW website.
