10 Cambridge-based startups to look out for in 2019 and beyond | EU-Startups
Summary
The University of Cambridge has developed a reputation for spinning out high-tech startups, and thanks to its world-class science research and innovation programmes, the city is emerging as one of the top hubs for tech companies in the UK, and even Europe. Here are 10 of the most exciting tech startups that were more recently coming out of Cambridge’s Silicon-Fen: Healx’s mission is to improve the lives of rare disease patients by using groundbreaking AI and machine learning technology alongside pharmacological expertise to accelerate the discovery and development of treatments at scale. Prior to Healx, CEO and co-founder, Dr Tim Guillams, obtained his PhD at the University of Cambridge in the field of Biophysics and Neuroscience, developing nanobody technology for Parkinson’s disease. The startup’s core platform, VUKU, is designed for autonomous decision-making in complex, dynamic, and uncertain environments including financial markets, resource allocation, transportation and logistics, ridesharing, smart cities, and robotics, and is developing its capabilities to expand its applications into even more verticals.
