In this excerpt from his speech, he talks about the importance of Entrepreneurship, the role of Universities in Entrepreneurship with a focus on innovation; and the example of the University of Cambridge which has fostered enterprise and innovation since the 1960’s influencing and enabling the creation of over 1400 businesses. Many of the businesses have connections to the University of Cambridge, with innovations deriving from research conducted in University laboratories.
