A faith-based climate donation platform and a low-carbon cement innovation took the top prizes at the 2026 Cambridge Climate Challenge.

Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor to break down hard-to-recycle forms of plastic waste – such as drinks bottles, nylon textiles and polyurethane foams – using acid recovered from old car batteries, and converting it into clean hydrogen fuel and valuable industrial chemicals.

Cambridge Enterprise, the University’s innovation arm, has published its annual report, highlighting success in supporting new ventures based on Cambridge research.

The UK’s most powerful quantum computer, which will accelerate research and discovery in quantum science, engineering, and a range of other applications, will be based at the University of Cambridge as part of a new partnership with the quantum technology company IonQ. The collaboration is the University’s largest-ever corporate research partnership.

Robots are becoming increasingly capable in vision and movement, yet touch remains one of their major weaknesses. Now, researchers have developed a miniature tactile sensor that could give robots something much closer to a human sense of touch.

The University of Cambridge, AstraZeneca and Beijing municipal parties (the Beijing Science and Technology Commission and the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area), have signed an agreement that will enhance collaboration between the University, AstraZeneca and Cambridge and Beijing’s life sciences ecosystems.

Nu Quantum has secured $60 million investment (about £44 million) to grow its quantum computer networking business, the largest early funding round achieved by a quantum company in the UK to date.

Cambridge Photon Technology (CPT), a deep-tech spinout from the University of Cambridge, has raised £1.6 million to commercialise a technology that enables existing silicon solar panels to generate more power by converting wasted sunlight into usable light.

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in everyday tools and decisions, ensuring the safety and reliability of large language models (LLMs) is more critical than ever. Cambridge spinout Trismik has raised £2.2 million to help it make AI testing faster, smarter and more trustworthy.

Applied Systems, a global provider of insurance software solutions, has acquired Cytora, a University of Cambridge AI spinout that has become the leading digital risk-processing platform for the insurance industry.
