A History of Innovation
Cambridge has been at the forefront of scientific discovery for centuries, with the University of Cambridge producing breakthroughs from Newton's laws of motion to the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson. The Cavendish Laboratory, founded in 1874, became one of the most important physics laboratories in the world, where the structure of DNA was famously determined in 1953. This rich tradition of inquiry laid the groundwork for the modern technology cluster known as Silicon Fen, which began to emerge in the 1970s and 1980s as university spin-outs commercialised their research.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
The Cambridge scientific tradition includes Isaac Newton, whose work at Trinity College revolutionised mathematics and physics, and Charles Darwin, whose theory of evolution by natural selection transformed biology. Francis Crick and James Watson determined the double-helix structure of DNA at the Cavendish Laboratory, whilst Stephen Hawking spent decades at the university advancing our understanding of black holes and cosmology. More recently, Sir Shankar Balasubramanian and Sir David Klenerman developed next-generation DNA sequencing technology at Cambridge, enabling rapid advances in genomics and personalised medicine. Dame Ann Dowling, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering from 2014 to 2019, has spent her career at the university's Department of Engineering, where her research into combustion and acoustics has advanced jet engine design.
Cambridge’s STEM Economy Today
Silicon Fen is now one of Europe's most significant technology clusters, home to over 5,000 knowledge-intensive firms employing tens of thousands of people. ARM Holdings, whose chip designs power the vast majority of the world's smartphones, was founded in Cambridge and remains a cornerstone of the local economy. AstraZeneca relocated its global research and development headquarters to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, whilst the Wellcome Sanger Institute near Hinxton leads world-class genomics research. The city also hosts a thriving ecosystem of artificial intelligence companies, including Darktrace and companies spun out of DeepMind's research.
STEM Career Pathways for Young People
Young people in Cambridge have access to career pathways spanning biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, semiconductor design, artificial intelligence and software engineering. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus alone employs thousands of researchers, clinicians and technicians across institutions including Addenbrooke's Hospital and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Apprenticeships and graduate schemes are available with major employers such as ARM, AstraZeneca and Marshall Aerospace, whilst the region's many start-ups offer routes into entrepreneurship. The University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University both provide strong STEM degree programmes that feed directly into local industry.
Investing in STEM Education in Cambridge
Silicon Fen is home to over 5,000 knowledge-intensive companies, ARM designs the chips inside nearly every smartphone on the planet, and AstraZeneca has planted its global R&D headquarters on the Biomedical Campus. The concentration of scientific talent is staggering. But employers across the cluster consistently report the same problem: not enough young people with the foundational STEM skills to fill the pipeline. For schools in Cambridgeshire, the gap between the classroom and some of the world's most exciting career opportunities is smaller than almost anywhere else in the country. Bridging it is one of the most impactful things a school can do.
