Cambridge’s innovative start-ups are among the best in the world and recognised as a special “phenomenon”. Now they have the chance to win up to £200,000 worth of professional services to take their business one step further in a national competition launched by Orange.
Their Win Your Business competition is keen to support today’s bright entrepreneurs and Orange would like to hear what is different about your company, and what makes it stand out for its creativity, innovation and fearlessness. They’re looking for a different idea, different approaches, clear strategies – an idea that stands out as deserving their funding and support.
