Cambridge has been responsible for many world-changing discoveries, but entrepreneurship is not the first thought of most people thinking about the University. Driving economic growth requires inspiring, challenging and coaching the next generation to think boldly about how their ideas can become market realities, transform industries, create better outcomes for society and build value for all . On 15th October at the House of Lords, King’s Entrepreneurship Lab (E-Lab) and the Global Education Lab will showcase and celebrate how the diverse University of Cambridge entrepreneurial ecosystem is turning ambitions into ventures that contribute meaningfully to the local, regional and global economy.

Learn about Cursor: an AI-powered code editor that integrates LLMs directly into your development workflow. Built as a fork of Visual Studio Code, it preserves the familiar interface and extension ecosystem while adding conversational AI capabilities from various LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Deepseek, Grok …). Rather than switching between your editor and a separate AI chat interface, you can write, edit, and debug code through natural language interactions within the same environment where you're working.

On the 18th of September, we are excited to bring the programme to a close with a showcase of the teams’ ventures in a full Demo Day with pitches from our cohort of 24 ventures. These teams are at the cutting edge of life sciences, artificial intelligence, healthcare, climate technologies, nuclear fusion, semiconductors, electric vehicles and more.

A full-day gathering at King’s College Cambridge for scientists, researchers, and builders to reconnect, share progress, and set new directions. Whether you’re developing an existing project or starting fresh, the day offers space to pitch ideas, explore founder traits, and choose between ideation and milestone-driven tracks. The programme includes talks, workshops, and closing pitches, followed by networking drinks.
