Why chose a software developer in Cambridge? A brief history of Cambridge and technology…
It is known for its picturesque river and historic university colleges, but Cambridge is also a world-class technology hub.

If you are looking for software development services in Cambridge, here is a brief example of how the city became central to the UK's technology industry, and how that benefits you.


A history of technology and software:

The Cambridge area is often referred to as the 'Silicon Fen', due to its high number of tech companies and start-ups. With a famous university that attracts the world's brightest students, perhaps it's not surprising that it would become home to innovators, inventors, and ground-breaking technology.

The first companies took root in the 1970s and Cambridge gradually grew as a hub for technology, attracting start-ups and providing a pool of collaboration and advice.

In the 90s, Cambridge software and technology companies were experiencing investment, growth and success. Despite being a relatively small town outside of London, Cambridge had become world-renowned.

Business hubs and premises that were created and expanded over the years include Cambridge Science Park, St John's Innovation Centre and recently the Hauser Forum.

Notable software businessmen and companies past and present in Cambridge include Clive Sinclair, Acorn Computers, Hermann Hauser, ARM, Microsoft, Red gate and games design company Jagex.

Community, Events and Talks:

Being a web developer in Cambridge means you stay up to date with new products, trends and ideas, making sure you can offer your clients the most beneficial route to realizing their brief.

At Eastpoint Software, we specialize in agile development. Here in Cambridge there is an annual event called Agile Cambridge, a software development conference with workshops and networking.

Eastpoint Software hosts the monthly MongoDB event, where users of the programme meet-up with a MongoDB employee to discuss ideas and uses of the platform.

The Cambridge Network promotes networking, collaboration and growth between businesses in the area.
