Cambridge Wireless (CW) – the leading network of more than 400 companies involved in the development and application of wireless and mobile technologies – believes its members will benefit from this investment.
"Since its inception, CW has been championing the symbiosis of progressive digital communication infrastructure and innovative digital services," said Raj Gawera, pictured, CW chairman, and vice president and managing director of Samsung Cambridge and Samsung Aalborg. “The growth and evolution of the digital economy in the UK will be linked closely to our ability to scale communication infrastructure to world class standards. It is positive to see the government recognising the importance of supporting both infrastructure development and innovation through start-ups."
Robert Driver, CEO at CW, also welcomed the government’s announcement of £100 million investment in testing infrastructure for driverless cars and an additional £400million to support tech start-ups. “The recent finals of the CW Discovering Start-ups competition demonstrated the level of UK innovation and entrepreneurship and it is vital that the government shows its commitment to nurture new talent and drive the development of pioneering technologies such as autonomous vehicles.”
