Cambridge Future Tech (CFT) is a uniquely tech-first venture builder, working closely with top-tier universities for positive global impact. Based in Cambridge, UK, and led by CEO Owen Thompson, CFT founds and grows deep tech ventures that would not exist without early-stage intervention. Its work spans semiconductors, advanced materials, AI, quantum, and robotics – building companies from day zero with scientists and inventors at the forefront of their fields. Alongside university partnerships, CFT also builds on behalf of FTSE100 companies and collaborates with global leaders including Anglo American plc, Nokia Bell Labs, Cemex, and CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider.
