Finland and the UK: Building the future of deep tech together
This year's Cambridge Tech Week explores the theme How Deep Tech Changes the World, a fitting focus for two innovation ecosystems where breakthrough research, ambitious startups and global companies are shaping the technologies of tomorrow.
Together with Finnish partners, including the Millennium Technology Prize, Enter Espoo is bringing a deep tech delegation to Cambridge to build on existing relationships and spark new collaborations between the UK and Finland. According to the ECIPE Quantum Ecosystem Ranking, Cambridge is home to the world's leading quantum ecosystem, while the Greater Helsinki region, with Espoo at its heart, ranks second globally. Together, our ecosystems are well placed to drive new partnerships in quantum technologies, semiconductors, AI, defence innovation and sustainable technologies.
Come and meet us at Innovation Alley on 15-16 September during Cambridge Tech Week to connect with the Finnish delegation and explore new opportunities for collaboration, research and business. We're also delighted that Teemu Turunen, Ambassador of Finland to the United Kingdom and Jaana Tuomi, CEO of Enter Espoo will speak at the event, highlighting the evolving relationship between Finland and the UK.
