Study shows Cambridge is EU’s most succesful tech cluster

A new study by Silicon Valley Comes to the UK (SVC2UK), has revealed that Cambridge is Europe’s most successful technology cluster, having produced 10 companies valued at more than $1 billion, and two valued at more than $10 billion.

In total, Cambridge has over 1,525 high-tech companies, employing more than 53,000 people. In 2011, these companies had a combined turnover of over £11.8bn.

We at the County Council are throwing our weight behind supporting continued growth.
