Prof Andy Hopper CBE FRS FREng FIET is the co-founder of over a dozen hugely successful businesses and Dr Hermann Hauser CBE FRS FREng is a serial entrepreneur and leading venture capitalist in the tech sector who has founded and invested in over 60 businesses. Both have very deep experience - from computing, microprocessors and physics - of helping to create businesses based on deep science. They know where the bear traps are that can halt progress, derail the vision and ambition. They also know when and where to find people and money to meet customer needs.

Chaired by Dr Shai Vyakarnam, CfEL Director, this talk took place during the 2014/2015 Enterprise Tuesday series.

Enterprise Tuesday is a series of FREE evening lectures and networking sessions delivered by the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL) which take place from November to the end of February each year in Cambridge. The programme aims to introduce participants to the world of business, as well as to encourage and inspire individuals to pursue their entrepreneurial ambition. It is the most popular non-assessed programme within the University and the model has been adopted by numerous other academic institutions as well as corporations.

Enterprise Tuesday is open to all University of Cambridge staff and students, members of other universities and the local business community. The series is particularly relevant for postgraduate students considering future career paths, those exploring entrepreneurial opportunities and looking to build high quality networks with experts and practitioners.
