Fireside Chat with Katie Prescott, Technology Business Editor at The Times

​We are pleased to welcome Katie Prescott, Business Editor at The Times and author of The Curious Case of Mike Lynch, for a fireside chat in the Yusuf Hamied Theatre.

​Few journalists have a clearer line of sight into the realities of modern British technology businesses: how technology companies scale, how founders and boards respond under pressure, and how capital, regulation and public scrutiny increasingly are intertwined.

​In conversation, Katie will discuss the Technology Trends that will impact 2026 and insights from her book, which is a fascinating story of the complexities inherent when technology, capital and corporate ambitions collide.

​This event is open to all across the University of Cambridge and the wider Cambridge technology ecosystem.

​Who may be interested:

• ​Founders and leadership teams, from pre-seed through scale-up

• ​Investors, angels and those supporting venture growth

• ​Researchers, PhD students and innovators exploring commercialisation

• ​Advisers across law, finance, communications and governance

• ​Anyone interested in the intersection of technology, markets and public accountability

​This event is hosted in collaboration with CUAIRS!
