SILICON FEN:
CHIPS with EVERYTHING
The Cambridge hi-tech phenomena has produced myriad outstanding companies, scientists and engineers.
A dozen engineers broke away from the once-legendary Acorn computers and started ARM – Advanced Risc Machines - in an 18th century barn in the Cambridgeshire village of Swaffham Bulbeck.
Today it’s a global player of immeasurable clout, a world-beating silicon chip designer. Cambridge University and a diversity of commercial players, big and small, have forged a lucrative relationship, with financial backers such as Herman Hauser’s Amadeus Fund playing a crucial role. John Swinfield spotted ARM in its formative years and was among the first to laud its potential.

Hi-tech is hi-risk. It’s built into the DNA. People and companies make fortunes, others fall by the wayside. In some the science is strong. In others it’s flaky. Deals can be imperilled by myriad factors - not just the purity or effectiveness of the science. John ...
