A few weeks ago we had our residential week and heard lots of great pitches from our amazing @Kings_College, @MECCambridge, @christs_college, @WolfsonCam & @TrinityHallCamb students. Look forward to seeing how the projects develop over this academic year!!

In this week's #Mindsets read Maryam Bham’s (@CamEdFac) reflections on the women who inspire her understanding of #entrepreneurship and on how the @KingsELab week left her with a sharpened mindset & a renewed sense of purpose to build something meaningful:

Fantastic panel tonight @CambridgeJBS listening to @Cambridge_Uni scientists-turned founders Alexander, Cecilia & Agata sharing practical insights, hard won lessons & tangible next steps for how to build an AI for Science #startup, brilliantly moderated by @KingsELab's Siiri!

An absolute pleasure to host the 2025 @NobelPrize laureate in economics Philippe Aghion @Kings_College, visiting John Maynard #Keynes set at King's where he worked and lived, the beautiful King's Chapel, and looking at some of the stunning art that Keynes left to the College.

Philippe was awarded the Nobel Prize “for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction”. @KingsELab we challenge the status quo and reimagine the world, with the aim to foster #innovation and cultivate a community of #entrepreneurial minds at the heart of Cambridge

I highlighted the work we do @KingsELab: to encourage #entrepreneurial thinking, build venture acumen, nurture a social ethic, & create a space for students, researchers & other stakeholders to explore innovation for positive social & environmental change:
