Last Thursday’s Cambridge Tech Week delivered an inspiring day full of valuable insights for scaling businesses. It brought together leaders and experts from across the scaleup ecosystem, offering both strategic advice and practical steps for those looking to grow their companies.
The event featured thought-provoking contributions from Hermann Hauser and Sherry Coutu CBE, who shared their perspectives on overcoming the challenges of scaling. Their advice, grounded in experience, focused on navigating growth, accessing new markets, and staying resilient in an evolving landscape.
A standout session took place in the iconic Cambridge Union debating chamber, where Cate Poulson participated in the panel, “Busting Scale-Up Myths: The Skills Needed for Growth.” The discussion went beyond the usual talking points, addressing the core skills, leadership qualities, and strategies essential for sustained growth. The panel offered fresh insights into building the right teams and staying agile during scaling.
For those who attended, the discussions provided not only new perspectives but actionable ideas to take back to their businesses.
