The Cambridge Computer Lab Ring is a members' association for staff and graduates of the Cambridge University Computer Laboratory. It was formed in 2002 as a non-profit, independent and voluntary members’ association, but was absorbed into the Cambridge University Computer Laboratory in 2012. It was named by Maurice Wilkes. The association was mentioned by Richard Lambert in the Lambert Review of Business-University Collaboration as an example of how "universities, departments and faculties should develop their alumni networks in order to build closer relationships with their graduates working in the business community." Hall of Fame The association claims that, as of January 2018, there are 267 companies created by computer lab graduates and staff. A 'Company of the Year' is chosen from this list annually. 2005 Sophos 2006 Codian 2007 Jagex 2008 Xensource 2009 Linguamatics 2010 Ubisense 2011 RealVNC 2012 Trampoline Systems 2013 Raspberry Pi 2014 DeepMind Technologies 2015 SwiftKey 2016 Unikernel Systems 2017 Improbable 2018 Bromium 2019 PolyAI 2020 DisplayLink 2021 iKVA References External links Cambridge Computer Lab Ring Lambert Review of Business-University Collaboration December 2003 2002 establishments in England Organizations established in 2002 Computer University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory
