Business Weekly - Cambridge, UK

BW has gained a reputation for breaking the big stories on East of England innovation and in partnership with leading full service creative agency, Black Pig, has updated the look of its website to more closely reflect the cutting-edge nature of its B2B news and research content.

businessweekly.co.uk specialises in technology and biotechnology coverage. It features exclusive content on start-ups and spin-outs from world leading institutions such as the University of Cambridge; the latest breakthroughs from corporate research labs operated by the likes of Intel and Microsoft and is first with the news from the deepest pool of private equity in Europe.

The website's ‘Investment A-Z’ section tracks the region's leading start-ups providing at-a-glance funding profiles and technology breakdowns.

The East of England innovation cluster is a world leader in nanotechnology, wireless technologies, genomics, plastic electronics, semiconductors, inkjet printing and antibody technologies – to name but a few – and businessweekly.co.uk is first with the news in those sectors.

The new website leverages a clean, modern design and a more intuitive interface to help users mine the information they need from an 8-year archive comprising thousands of company profiles and more than 10,000 archived articles.

Among the new features introduced to coincide with the relaunch of the website is a ‘breaking news wire’, designed to make full use of the immediacy of internet publishing. The rolling ‘Breaking News’ section will add an up-to-the-minute edge to BW’s in-depth news and comment from the inside track.

The redesign of the site is merely the first stage in a multi-phased project aimed at further increasing the scope and depth of business information and importantly the functionality available on the site.

Over the next year, BW will be working with a host of trusted content partners to build a definitive business information portal – indispensable not only to East of England companies but also the myriad international organisations that wish to do business with Europe's innovation capital.
