Dear CUTEC teammates and friends,
After one year of serving as the president of CUTEC, I am now happy to share with you our first-ever Annual Report that captures the highlights and progress of CUTEC in 2008/2009: http://www.cutec.org/?n1=news
Thanks again for making the last year hugely successful and look forward to your engagement for the coming year.

Calling all Enterprisers alumni!
Dr Shai Vyakarnam needs case studies for a book he is co-writing with Neal Hartman about how to unlock the enterpriser inside!
What has happened since you completed Enterprisers? How are you working or behaving differently? What sort of impact has your business or idea had on your own or other people's lives? What about your 'Letter to Self?' Have things turned out the way you hoped?
If you are happy to be included, please get in touch with Shai by email.
We'd also like to develop some CfEL case studies to demonstrate the benefits of the programme for potential delegates across the UK and wider world. If you'd like to contribute and would be happy for this info to be included on our web site and within other marketing collateral, please contact Katharine Price, Marketing Manager, at CfEL via k.price@jbs.cam.ac.uk
We look forward to hearing from you!
Many thanks,
The CfEL team
1 day to go! New i-Teams taster programme - May 7th 2009
Following on from the success of the i-Teams programme, we are piloting a new taster programme in May, to allow more students to participate, and more technologies to gain real market feedback.
Students will have the opportunity to work with real Cambridge University inventions, getting a taste of brainstorming, identifying the real-world benefits of new technologies, and contacting potential customers.
The i-Teams taster will run over 2 weeks, from May 16th to 30th and includes two half-day workshops, as well as independent team work.
See www.iteamsonline.org for details of the projects. Applications due by May 7th.
Hi all. I'm looking forward to attending next year CUTEC events as the Technology Venture Conference was absolutely amazing. I had a very nice chat with Garrett Camp of StumbleUpon fame which is one of the company I inspired the most when I started Veedow.com up.
Also, I'd love to get feedbacks about my start up: http://younoodle.com/startups/veedow_com
Cheers
