Key Reasons:
The Clean tech cluster, led by Cambridge University, provides a skilled workforce and many spin-out companies.
Cutting edge solar energy technology is currently being developed in Cambridge undertaken by Cambridge University researchers. The technology is still at a very early stage of development, but has already received a second tranche of major government funding. Initial funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of around £160k has now been extended to £1.6 million, providing enough funding for another three years
CamSemi, based in Cambridge, is ranked among the “Killer 50” by Business Weekly in September 2009. The ”Killer 50” are chosen on raw technology that has either achieved commercial success or promises to do so and is a technology play rather than a financial one.
