Cambridge contains a large number of people with creative, entrepreneurial ideas who lack the space, time or confidence to pursue their visions. By combining the ideas of a ‘hackspace’ (an open, community workshop and computer/electronics lab) with a network of interested business and individuals, the space will provide a focal point for the creativity, engineering ability and entrepreneurial energy within the city. It will be a place for people with ideas to experiment, argue and meet people who can help them develop their idea, and spur each other on to create new and extraordinary things.
