It’s time to get the future you want — with the power of deep tech

As the deep tech powerhouse of Capgemini, CC spearheads transformative projects to solve the toughest scientific and engineering challenges.

Ambitious clients collaborate with us to create new-to-the-world technologies, services and products that have never been seen before.

Our unique combination of technical, commercial and market expertise yields market-leading solutions that are hard to copy. This creates valuable intellectual property that generates protectable long-term value.

We work with some of the world’s biggest brands and most ambitious technology start-up ventures across a wide range of markets.

From aerospace to agritech, consumer to industry, communications to healthcare, our knowledge of one sector can often be applied to another to create new breakthroughs.

We focus on our clients’ success and we are trusted as integral partners in the future of their businesses.

We do important, difficult, radical and impactful things that benefit society. We helped develop the world's first 24/7 wrist-worn activity monitor, wireless pacemaker and wireless patient monitor, as well as the first connected drug inhaler.

Our work led to the most densely packed cellular network in the world – orchestrating swarms of bots across highly automated warehouses. It produced the Bluetooth chip that connects your phone to your car and the latest satellite technology that lets people in remote locations across the world keep in touch.

CC was founded in 1960 by three graduates to put the brains of Cambridge University at the disposal of industry. We were the first to establish purpose-built facilities at the Cambridge Science Park and founders of what became known as the Cambridge Phenomenon.

In the early 2000s we expanded operations with offices in the US and Asia and transformed ourselves into one of the world's most capable deep tech innovation companies. We are now part of Capgemini – one of the world’s largest technology consultancy firms.

Our services

Innovation strategy

We can provide insight into how technology will disrupt a market and provide clients with an innovation roadmap to transform their business. We’ve developed processes and tools that minimise the time to create breakthrough ideas, allowing our clients to stand out in their markets.

Concept feasibility

Market-leading breakthroughs don’t happen by accident. We apply a combination of creativity and science-led design to ensure products and services reach their full potential. Our robust feasibility analysis establishes what’s possible, minimises risk and provides greater budget and timescale confidence.

Product development

Once a design is agreed, every day it’s not on the market is a day of lost revenue. We’ve honed our development, test, production and supply chain processes to provide fast and reliable project realisation.

Support and operational service

The development of a new product or service is just the start of its life. We provide comprehensive support for new product introduction to minimise problems during launch – and then help our clients plan its ongoing evolution and enhancement throughout the lifecycle.

How we work

End-to-end service

We provide end-to-end support. Wherever you are in your development journey, we can help – from front-end strategy, through design and development, to post-launch support and enhancement.

Trusted partners

We work on a ‘fee for service’ basis and provide an ever-ready, on-demand capability – working as an extension of our clients’ own team. We take full responsibility for project delivery to achieve successful outcomes for our clients.

Complete delivery

Our goal is for our clients to grow as a result of using our services. So we don’t look to retain ownership of the output of our projects. Instead, we typically assign all intellectual property, designs and regulatory documentation to our clients.

Outsourcing made easy

We understand that outsourcing can be a daunting prospect. Over six decades, we’ve refined our working model with clients to make the journey as simple, pain-free and rewarding as possible.

Our service promise

We provide clarity

Comprehensive statements of work that clearly set out what we’ll do.

We take responsibility

We take full responsibility for managing our work and delivering results.

We’re solution agnostic

Being independent, we don’t promote particular technologies or manufacturing routes – just the best solution for the application.

We’re adaptable

We adopt your processes, documentation and tools where applicable, for simpler interworking and compliance.

We encourage knowledge transfer

We work with you as an integrated team to maximise the insight and skills you gain during the project.

The team you meet is the team you’ll get

We always look to deploy the team you’ve met and trust.

Our facilities

CC’s state-of-the-art R&D facilities, fully equipped labs, design offices and workshops enable us to deliver over 500 client projects each year. We have everything needed under one roof to take a product from initial concept to being production ready.

Cambridge Consultants is the deep tech powerhouse of Capgemini. We work with an ever-growing and diverse group of innovators and unconstrained thinkers, united by a passion to make a difference to business, people and the planet.
