50/50 Vision: 50 years of the Cambridge Tech Cluster
It’s the greatest technology story never previously told. How Tim Eiloart and colleagues from Cambridge University put their brains at the disposal of industry in 1960. Not only did their enterprise give birth to the golden child – Cambridge Consultants – but also the venture spawned the Cambridge Technology Cluster. Business Weekly has produced 50/50 Vision – a fabulous A4 book on the greatest entrepreneurs, companies and technologies of the last 50 years which provides a taste of why Cambridge is THE place to be if you want to take a tech start-up global.
50/50 Vision trails the history of Cambridge Consultants with all its highs and lows; from its peak to a slump which had Robert Maxwell and Clive Sinclair stepping up to help – and back to a fresh pomp. How did Cambridge Consultants survive having Peter Cook as a landlord? Not only did it survive but also ... it thrived.
