Kate Kirk – Cambridge Phenomenon Lecture

I have been researching, writing about, and lecturing on the highly successful Cambridge technology cluster known as ‘the Cambridge Phenomenon’ for over 15 years.

My first book on Cambridge, co-authored with entrepreneur Charles Cotton and titled The Cambridge Phenomenon: 50 Years of Innovation and Enterprise, described the history of the technology cluster, focusing on how it developed after the establishment of Cambridge Consultants in 1960.

The second, The Cambridge Phenomenon: Global Impact, detailed the multiple ways that Cambridge companies and technologies have come to be used around the world, every day.

I am currently researching my third book in the series. By looking into the academic, organisational, political and social structures that underpin the Cambridge Phenomenon, I will attempt to answer the question, ‘what are the essential ingredients for a successful technology cluster?’
