Vertical farming promises a step change in production density, providing significant efficiency savings with the additional benefit of improved product quality. Vertical farming also presents the only viable option for growing crops within urban environments...

Year on year we’re producing more and more waste electronics – e-waste. Recovering the valuable materials embedded in e-waste will become significantly more important. At present this is a highly manual process...

This new whitepaper provides insights gained from a series of workshops into women's experiences of menopausal hot flushes, and how these insights can inform the design of (drug-free)...

Synthetic biology remains nascent, yet full of promise. The idea of using rational engineering approaches to design biology has the potential to solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges, such as securing food supplies...

Potential quantum attacks on government agencies and the military are part and parcel of the changing security landscape. In turn, government organizations are exploring the use of quantum for defense security, as well as the efficiencies of future states that these technologies will enable for mission-critical operations.

What is quantum computing? That’s a question still being asked by much of the world’s C-suite. But here at CC our multidisciplinary teams of physicists, engineers and designers are already helping to plot a credible pathway for a future powered by quantum technologies…

2022 was a rollercoaster year for medtech innovation, with a dramatic slow-down of venture funding, multi-national corporations (MNCs) hitting inflationary, recessionary, and geo-political headwinds, new emerging technologies, and the sprinkling of game-changing M&A. Rahul Sathe shares his predictions on medtech’s innovation outlook for 2023.

So you have a physical/digital innovation idea, but what now? Not everyone knows how to embark on the road to a new market breakthrough – or has the confidence to overcome natural hesitancy. At CC, we believe in the design thinking approach known as DVF (Desirability, Viability, Feasibility).

Swiss company Qnami, a leader in quantum sensing technology, tasked us with identifying potential applications in the biomedical area where NV magnetometry could provide clinical value and open new commercial avenues.

Isobel Ashbey is the Tech for Good Lead within the Industrial, Consumer and Energy Division and when the war in Ukraine began, was left thinking, what can Cambridge Consultants do to help? 

Asia’s medical technology market is predicted to account for a third of global medical technology sales by 2025. As such, it's a hotbed for start-ups, so here are our six innovative start-ups to watch that are part of this year’s MedTech Innovator cohort. 

Lizzie Thomas presents her case for designing improved, sustainable drug delivery devices. Currently, the approach is dominated at the outset by patient-centricity. This focus means that wider, more long-term implications simply aren’t considered early enough.
