Cambridge Consultants is a world leader in disruptive innovation and technology-based consulting. Established in 1960, their world-class engineers, designers, scientists and consultants solve the world's most complex engineering, technology and design problems to deliver world-firsts.
Through six decades of innovation, they have demonstrated the power of technology to solve complex problems at scale. This year they're excited to partner with One Young World to identify and support young leaders who share their belief in the power of technology to alleviate suffering and empower a new generation.
They will tailor the package of scholarship support to suit the individual and their idea. They know from their daily working lives that great ideas need individual treatment. As a guide, here's how they will work with you.
Their initial contact is likely to focus on us getting a really good understanding of your innovation and how it will help others. They'll work remotely, to understand your ideas and work so far, and help focus the development. They will provide remote mentoring and support from world class technical experts over several months. This includes general technical and business mentoring, and detailed advice on problem solving.
They will invite you to Cambridge (UK) to meet them, and give you direct support in developing your idea through to application. This will also give you exposure to a wide range of professionals in a world-class technology development environment.
The intellectual property of all work undertaken throughout the scholarship will remain your own: they want to help you innovate to help others. At the end of the scholarship, they will discuss with you whether you should seek to protect your IP in some way and help you identify the best route to market.
