About - cambridgewideopenweek

IT STARTED WITH A DAY....

Cambridge has championed collaboration to become one of the leading science and technology clusters in the world. A reputation built on world-leading innovation, fast-growing science and tech companies, academia, and innovation centres - underpinned by investment, people and skills. To support and further progress this world-leading position requires inclusive collaboration across the Cambridge community. Designed to provide the whole community a chance to visit and experience the cluster first-hand, the o2h group launched Cambridge Wide Open Day in 2023.

CAMBRIDGE WIDE OPEN WEEK

(AKA Combined Ways of Working)

Building on the buzz of Cambridge Wide Open Day Season 2 we evolved CWOD into CWOW! In the previous edition of CWOW, over 4000+ attendees explored 200+ companies across 25+ venues featuring 210+ talks, presentations, tours, demos, and masterclasses. Join us for a week of life sciences festivities @ the home of life sciences from 𝟭𝟭𝘁𝗵 - 𝟭𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

We will have a mix of investor showcases, conferences, panels, talks, tours, masterclasses, discussions, breakfast/lunch/evening receptions, a summer garden party, a community day, a biotech bikers event and more! Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, academic, working in public policy, or a local resident, this is an opportunity for everyone to feel the buzz of the Cambridge life sciences ecosystem.

BE CURIOUS

CWOW is a unique opportunity for you to see what goes on behind the closed doors of pioneering life sciences companies in Cambridge. The event also welcomes visitors from outside Cambridge, around the country, and across the world who are curious to see what’s going on ‘inside’ Cambridge. We welcome you to share CWOW registration link with your connections…

We are delighted to be part of the Open Cambridge event. The Greater Cambridge region is at the centre of one of the most exciting science and technology clusters in the world.

We had about 70 people turning up from the local community which was a really nice piece of engagement. It is something we may do from time to time but the wider Cambridge coverage that Cambridge Wide Open Day enabled really brought it to another dimension. Really well done to you and the team.

Open Cambridge is the most important initiative for the local technology ecosystem since the founding of the Cambridge Network. It’s critical to erode barriers and nurture connections across science, tech and biotech as well as the wider regional community: the Open Day is a brilliant opportunity to do just that.

Open Cambridge is a fantastic opportunity for the community to experience entrepreneurial Cambridge, where breakthrough science impacts society. Come and talk to scientists and founders. Get inspired! You will see and feel what our passion is: Creating a better and a healthier place for all.

Behind closed doors the toughest challenges on human health are being tackled from defeating aging to curing disease using some of the most amazing kit and techniques. This day is an opportunity to open those doors and share what is happening.
