Cambridge University is seeking a £15 million state boost to fund a global science hub. The request is for cornerstone funding for a £150 million project aimed at creating a unicorn incubator science hub to rival Paris’s Station F and the US’s Kendall Square. Senior figures in science and industry have warned that the UK risks failing to capitalize on its scientific prowess without such initiatives. Cambridge's Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Innovation, DIOBRIEN1, emphasized the university's vision to be a national asset and drive economic growth through an Innovation Hub designed to increase the rate of spinouts and start-ups.
