Ten Cambridgeshire businesses shortlisted for Impact55

No less than ten businesses have been shortlisted for the next stage of our Impact55 programme.

Designed to support businesses in Cambridgeshire who are using technology to create a positive social or environmental impact, the programme will provide £25,000 of legal advice to the business judged to be making the most impact, is investible and has potential for growth, with up to three runners up each receiving £10,000 of advice.

The number of applications far exceeded expectations and the ten businesses going through to pitch in the next stage are:

• Barocal
• Biotryp Therapeutics
• Cambridge Nucleomics
• Cellcraft LTD
• Cellexcel Ltd
• Directed Systems
• Lambda Energy
• Nanomation Ltd
• Spotta
• VundaHaus

The shortlisted businesses cover a range of sectors including agriculture, medical, construction and food production and have all already raised funding but are now looking for support to prepare them for the next stage of their business journey. We will be sharing more information about each of the shortlisted businesses on social media in the coming weeks.

Inger Anson, Partner and Head of the Cambridge office, said: “We’re delighted by the response to Impact55. The volume of applications we have received highlights just how many entrepreneurial businesses there are in Cambridgeshire and the impact they are already making. The calibre of applicants was extremely high and we’re excited to meet all the shortlisted businesses at the pitching event in February.”
