Innovation Song
3:16

Verse 1

Blue skies, clear mind

Discoveries that change your life 

Dream big, here no goal is too high

Got our eyes on the prize 

Fantasies get brought to life 

The unicorns will blow your mind

 

Sold out summits,

Big events 

so excited for whats next 

Here we go from strength to strength 

Reached millions with our new campaign

Everyone will know our name 

 

Chorus

You’ll be glad you came to

Cambridge, Cambridge

Where no day is the same 

Companies in Cambridge 

Bring our city to the global stage 

Innovate to make a change 

 

Verse 2

We’ve got AZ, we’ve got ARM 

We’ve got brains to match our braun

Driving change with real impact

Who else is doing like that? 

But we can’t do this all alone, so come and make Cambridge your home 

Included and the Cambridge Pledge 

Bring us that inclusive edge 

 

Foundations for our growth are laid 

Innovation hub is on the way 

Bringing change around the nation 

Thanks for the collaboration 

From Manchester to Oxford station 

Board the train to innovation 

Next stop is in 

 

[CHORUS]

 

Verse 3

So lets all celebrate together 

And make next year even better 

aligned vision keeps us strong

working with venture cafe

to bring excitement to your day

Cambridge Can be number one 

 

Our ambition never slows

Always room for us to grow

improving our abilities

Working with communities 

the glasshouse is the perfect engine

To prove the power of connection 

And it’s all unique to
