Cambridge Filmworks Partners with Cambridge Innovation Capital to Bring Deep Tech and Life Sciences Stories to Life
Telling the Stories Behind Transformational Innovation
Cambridge Innovation Capital is one of Europe’s leading venture investors focused on knowledge-intensive companies emerging from the Cambridge ecosystem. As a preferred investor for the University of Cambridge, CIC backs ambitious founders developing technologies with the potential to transform industries ranging from healthcare and semiconductors to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Today, the firm manages more than £600 million in assets and has supported more than 45 portfolio companies.
Showcasing the Companies Shaping Tomorrow
For organisations investing in world-changing technologies, effective communication is essential. Complex science and engineering can be difficult to explain to audiences without specialist knowledge. Through cinematic filmmaking, interviews, motion graphics and visual storytelling, Cambridge Filmworks translates that complexity into compelling narratives that remain scientifically credible while being accessible to broader audiences.
The collaboration has seen Cambridge Filmworks film with a broad range of CIC portfolio companies, highlighting the diversity and strength of innovation emerging from Cambridge. These include:
• BeyondMath Using generative AI and physics simulation to transform engineering design.
• Cambridge GaN Devices Developing next-generation gallium nitride power electronics that improve energy efficiency.
• CMR Surgical Creators of the Versius robotic surgical platform that is redefining minimally invasive surgery.
• Epitopea Pioneering novel cancer immunotherapies through next-generation tumour antigen discovery.
• Microbiotica Unlocking the therapeutic potential of the human microbiome.
• Nuclera Accelerating protein discovery with rapid desktop protein expression technology.
• Pragmatic Semiconductor Revolutionising semiconductor manufacturing through flexible integrated circuits.
• Riverlane Developing quantum error correction technology to enable practical quantum computing.
• Forefront RF Creating innovative radio frequency solutions for future mobile communications.
• Secondmind Applying artificial intelligence to help automotive manufacturers optimise engineering and product development.
Each company represents a different scientific discipline, yet they share a common challenge: communicating sophisticated technology in a way that builds confidence, inspires investment and demonstrates real-world impact.
The films created through the partnership are designed to serve multiple purposes. Beyond documenting technology, they become valuable strategic assets that support fundraising, recruitment, marketing, international events, media engagement and stakeholder communications.
For rapidly scaling technology companies, consistent, high-quality visual storytelling helps create a stronger brand identity while enabling founders and leadership teams to articulate their vision with clarity and confidence.
Supporting the Cambridge Innovation Ecosystem
Cambridge has established itself as one of the world’s leading centres for scientific research, technology development and venture-backed innovation. CIC plays a pivotal role in identifying and supporting many of the region’s most promising businesses, while Cambridge Filmworks helps communicate the innovation emerging from that ecosystem to global audiences.
As the portfolio continues to expand across artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, advanced computing, healthcare and life sciences, the demand for clear, authentic and visually engaging storytelling will only continue to grow.
