Entrepreneurs: In the Business of Technology |
| |
Are entrepreneurs born or made by their opportunities
and interests? How much does the surrounding environment
contribute to their motivation and to their chances
of success? All around the world, economists and politicians
are interested in establishing an entrepreneurial business
climate. The dramatis personae in this desirable scenario
are the entrepreneurs themselves.
In recent years Cambridge
has become the UK's leading centre for entrepreneurial
business, especially in the hi-tech sector. In these
profiles a selection of its hi-tech entrepreneurs record
their observations on their ambitions when they started
out in life, tell us how they came to start their businesses
and how they found backing and reveal what they think
about the technologies they are pioneering and the problems
of addressing worldwide competition.
Lindy Beveridge, an Oxford graduate, has lived in Cambridge
since the end of the 1960s. For more than twenty years
she has been involved with the local hi-tech industry
and with the Cambridge Science Park, mainly in the role
of public relations consultant. |
