Your Expertise Could Create More Value Than You Realise

Every day, experienced professionals, like you, help organisations solve problems, make decisions and avoid costly mistakes. Yet much of that expertise is used in short-term projects, advisory conversations and consulting engagements where the value created often disappears when the engagement ends.

At 8 Cambridge, we believe expertise can do more.

We bring together researchers, innovators and specialist experts to transform promising innovations into commercially valuable assets. These innovations may need technical insight, market knowledge, regulatory guidance, commercial thinking or industry experience to unlock their full potential.

Apply Your Expertise Where It Matters Most

Rather than starting with a business, we start with an innovation.

Our role is to identify promising opportunities and assemble the expertise required to strengthen, de-risk and develop them. As an expert, you contribute your knowledge to specific challenges where your experience can make a measurable difference.

You choose opportunities that match your skills, interests and availability.

Help Create the Next Generation of Innovation Assets

Whether your background is in technology, science, engineering, product development, regulation, commercialisation, marketing, finance or industry leadership, your expertise could help transform an overlooked idea into something of real value.

Because great innovations rarely succeed through invention alone. They succeed when the right expertise is applied at the right time.

Join the expert network and help turn promising innovations into valuable opportunities.

So, it might be time for you to register as an expert with 8 Cambridge where we are focused on matching you with high value projects that fit your profile.

Essentially what we do is match your skills with breakthrough innovations that need your help.

This means that your knowledge can make a real impact and you can maximise the return from your skills and experience

If you are interested, then there’s a simple step forward which involves telling us what your skills are experience are and you can do that right here, right now.

How 8 Cambridge Works

We take great ideas without a natural route to market and give them a pathway to success.

Step 1

The first stage involved the capture of the essence of new innovations. Innovators share promising concepts with us that don’t yet have a business owner or route to market. Usually, these innovators are not suited to developing businesses round their ideas; they may be involved in research or are caught up in other more pressing activities which prevent them from dedicating time to commercialisation

Step 2

8 Cambridge evaluates the submitted innovations and filters out the ones that are market-ready and which have significant potential. It then identifies what expert work is needed to take these innovations to the next level and brings in the right set of expertise and experience to rapidly shape, validate and strengthening ideas to make them implementable and valuable.

Step 3

Once the experts have worked their magic the innovations are offered to corporations that are hungry for new ideas and find it hard to innovate internally. They can align themselves with innovations that match their priorities and implement them quickly within their existing operations.
