Private Event

A joint event with Cambridge University Health Partners and Native Design exploring how different forms of support can help life sciences and tech companies grow at different stages of their journey. Cambridgeshire is one of the UK’s most active regions for innovation, company creation and scientific spin-outs. Yet, access to the right expertise, advice and practical support can still depend heavily on investors, location, networks and personal connections. This event will explore how these factors influence growth and what more can be done to support ambitious companies. A key highlight of the afternoon will be a fireside conversation with Dr Mark Slack, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of CMR Surgical. The discussion will focus on what it takes to turn technical promise into a successful, growing business. Mark will also reflect on the CMR journey, including key decisions that shaped the company’s path, the support that made a real difference and insights into scaling breakthrough technologies into real-world impact. Whether you’re a company or a specialist, join us to find out how different forms of support can help ambitious businesses grow and succeed.
