Welcome delegates,

On behalf of Cambridge University Technology and Enterprise Club (CUTEC), we would like to welcome you to the 7th annual University of Cambridge Technology Ventures Conference.

CUTEC has hosted the Technology Ventures Conference since 2003 to showcase start-ups and established companies using technology to create successful businesses. At these events, we aim to bring together students, investors, and technology professional so that they can form lasting business partnerships and be inspired by new ways of taking technology to market.

This year’s conference, Human Performance Running on Technology, will serve as a platform to display how high-tech products continue to push back the boundaries of human ability. Breakthroughs in bioengineering, sensors, and smart materials are transforming recreational and professional sports. People can heal faster and go farther. New feats are achieved daily due to the latest engineering and nutrition, whilst new avenues are available to engage sports and gaming consumers as a result of emerging digital media technology. CUTEC hopes to highlight the opportunities and address the debates that arise when new forms of Digital Media, Healthcare, and Engineering applied towards human performance.

We would like to thank our keynote speakers, panellists and moderators for their participation and input in shaping the conference. We are also grateful to our sponsors and advisors, who have kindly supported our efforts to encourage an entrepreneurial culture.

We hope that you enjoy today’s conference!

Warm Regards,

Mark burst onto the International swimming scene, at the age of 16, representing England at the 1986 Com-monwealth Games. Throughout his impressive three decade career he has won 47 international medals; competed in 5 Olympics, been 8 times Commonwealth champion, 10 times European champion and 8 times World record holder.

Arne Ljungqvist is the Chairman of the International Olympic Committee’s Medical Commission and the Vice President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). He has played a pivotal role on the international stage in the development of science and research to combat doping in sport.

Alongside membership of the IOC, Arne has been Senior Vice President of the International Association of Athle-tics Federations (IAAF) and President of the Swedish Can-cer Society. Before embarking on his medical career, Arne was ranked among the top three high jumpers in Europe, representing Sweden at the 1952 Olympic Games in Hel-sinki.

Graeme Obree, nicknamed “The Flying Scotsman“, is an inspirational figure who has battled the odds to reach the pinnacle of his sport. He broke the world hour cycling re-cord in 1993 and again in 1994, and was the individual 4K pursuit world champion in 1993 and 1995.

Obree created some truly radical innovations in the con-servative world of competitive cycling including develo-ping the ‘Superman’ position which was copied widely but ultimately outlawed by World Cycling’s governing body, the UCI. His life story, record breaking attempts, fights with the UCI and struggle with suicidal depression were the inspiration for the Hollywood blockbuster The Flying Scotsman.

Digitising Sports

The traditional ideals of sport are being challenged by the digital revolution. Today, there are real-time results on our smart phones, digitised replays, computer-aided analysis, and digital sport visuals that have never existed before. In this panel, we will examine the impact of these new and emerging media trends in the sports industry.

The discussion will include:

What are the new developments in virtual sports and sports visuals?

What new forms of digital broadcasting rights are being produced and leveraged?

How important is sport in driving the adoption of new delivery platforms such as 3D, HDTV, IPTV and mobile?

Are these new forms of media changing how the bu-siness of sport is being done?

Advancing through Biomedical Innovation

Recent developments in sports nutrition and regenera-tive medicine have significantly enhanced our wellbeing and performance. With the introduction of novel nutritio-nal supplements and next-generation tissue engineering products, we are becoming better, faster and stronger. However, the rapid developments of such technologies also require us to revisit their ethical implications and commercial viability.

The panel will aim to address:

How will emerging technologies reshape our con-cept of sports and health?

Where do we draw the line between advan-ced medicine and illegal performance enhancing treatments?

How viable are the current business models in the rapidly evolving sports health industry?

Is the elite sports market the place to demonstrate the effectiveness of stem cell therapy and tissue en-gineering?
