About Cambridge Industrialisation

Connecting Scholars and Practitioners in Industrialisation Worldwide

Cambridge Industrialisation was founded by students and scholars at the University of Cambridge in October 2025 and became a University-level society in January 2026, under the governance and supervision of the University of Cambridge.

The Society is dedicated to bringing together scholars and practitioners from Cambridge, the UK, and around the world who are interested in industrialisation theory and its applications, providing ideas, pathways, and methods for global industrialisation development and cooperation.

Our Mission

Through annual conferences, industrial exhibitions, thematic seminars, industrialisation transformation workshops, collaborative projects between academia and industry, and promoting academic publications, we foster member development, drive industrial progress, and contribute to global prosperity.
