It's a privilege to announce that our next guest speaker is Hermann Hauser on Sunday 5th July.

Hermann Hauser’s influence on the computer industry lies not only in the companies he helped create, but in his ability to recognise brilliant technical ideas and turn them into world-changing businesses. As co-founder of Acorn Computers, he helped build the environment in which the BBC Micro could be developed at extraordinary speed, bringing together engineers such as Sophie Wilson and Steve Furber and giving them the backing to create a machine that transformed computer education in Britain.

His role was equally important in the story of ARM as he saw the potential in Acorn’s processor work and helped guide it from an internal engineering solution into a technology that would eventually power billions of devices around the world. Beyond Acorn, he became one of the key figures behind Cambridge’s growth as a technology centre, founding and backing companies, investing in new ideas, and helping turn the “Silicon Fen” into one of the most important computing clusters in Europe.

Hermann has many stories to share and we can't wait for you to meet him at The Retro Collective.
