Cambridge Science Park is proud to host #CWOD26, bringing together some of the region’s most exciting innovators, pioneering businesses, and leaders from the life sciences and technology sectors.
Join us for Cambridge Wide Open Day on Wednesday 17 June from 11:00 – 14:00 at The Bradfield Centre, Cambridge Science Park for a series of short talks and interactive Q&A sessions welcoming not only professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry experts, but also members of the wider Cambridge community who are curious to learn more about the innovation, science, and technology shaping the future around them. The event is an opportunity to open our doors to all of Cambridge and share the ideas, people, and breakthroughs that make the park such a vibrant hub of discovery and collaboration.
The programme will feature presentations from organisations based across Cambridge Science Park, including an overview of the park and its innovation community from Jane Hutchins, Director of External Affairs, alongside talks from pioneering companies such as Xampla, Astex Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge Consultants, Cambridge Future Tech and AVEVA. Topics will range from sustainable materials and drug discovery to cutting-edge technology and innovation shaping the future of healthcare, science, and industry.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from industry leaders, exchange ideas with forward-thinking organisations, and build valuable new connections within one of the UK’s leading centres for science and technology. The event offers an engaging afternoon of insight, collaboration, and networking within the vibrant Cambridge Science Park community.
