1972 winner: EMI Ltd for the CT Scanner
In 1971, a British engineer from EMI Ltd called Godfrey Hounsfield developed the first CT scanner to create images of the brain – a task not possible using conventional x-rays. The following year, Hounsfield won the MacRobert Award, and seven years later, the Nobel Prize Committee followed suit. The CT scanner has been described as a “renaissance in radiology” and since 1971 has gone on to save countless lives.

2000 winner: Johnson Matthey for the Continuously Regenerating Trap (CRT)
CRT allows diesel-powered trucks and buses to control the pollution emitted by their engines, especially the particulate matter (soot). Johnson Matthey also won the award in 1980, for the development of the original catalytic converter. Both teams were led by the same person – Prof Barry Cooper.

2002 winner: CDT for its light-emitting polymers
In 1989, researchers at Cambridge University found that passing an electric current through certain polymers made them emit light. Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) was formed in 1992 to commercialise the technology that evolved from this discovery. Their technology is now being used in a new-generation of brighter, faster, longer life display panels.

2006 winner: Optos plc for the Panoramic200
Optos' scanning laser ophthalmoscope has revolutionised eye care and the early detection of retinal defects with its ultra-wide retinal imagers. Optos’ laser-based digital retinal scanner was developed by Douglas Anderson after his son tragically lost sight in one eye due to a retinal detachment that was diagnosed too late, despite regular eye examinations. Today the Optos system can be found in 6,500 locations across the globe.
2008 winner: Touch Bionics for the i-LIMB Hand
The i-LIMB Hand is a prosthetic device that looks and acts like a real human hand with five individually powered digits. The key innovation behind Touch Bionics' i-LIMB Hand is the multi-articulating finger technology, which has underpinned the product's commercial success since its launch. The i-LIMB Hand was developed using leading-edge electronic and mechanical engineering techniques and is manufactured using high-strength plastics. The result is a next-generation prosthetic device that is lightweight, robust and appealing to both patients and healthcare professionals.
2009 winner: Arup for The Water Cube
The 2009 Award was given for Arup's visionary Beijing Aquatic Centre, known as the Water Cube, which was the setting for so many swimming events at the 2008 Olympic Games. The project team made revolutionary use of virtual prototyping, which is changing the way both Arup and the building industry approach new projects.
2010 winner: Inmarsat for its Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN)
The 2010 award was made for Inmarsat's groundbreaking Broadband Global Area Network service, which provides 3G internet data connectivity and is used for remote connectivity for business, government, broadcasters, aid and relief agencies, and emergency services. The service also brings TV reports into our homes from even the most remote parts of the world and is used by major broadcasters.
2012 winner: Jaguar Land Rover for its Range Rover Evoque
The Range Rover Evoque from Land Rover has carved out an entirely new market segment with its concept-car design which retains the ground clearance necessary for true all-terrain capability. In order to maintain the original concept's low profile design, Jaguar Land Rover's engineers packaged the under-floor components, the all new front and rear suspension systems, new chassis frame and 70L fuel tank with millimetre accuracy.
2013 winner: RealVNC for its remote computer access software
RealVNC is a small Cambridge software company, which was set up by some of the inventors of remote computer access software and has gone on to work with global technology giants such as Google, Apple, and Intel. Husband-and-wife team Andy Harter and Lily Bacon refused external investment and raised their own money to found the business selling hats and T-shirts. This raised over £100,000, which formed the seed money for the organisation to grow. The MacRobert Award judges predict that RealVNC could be a billion dollar company by 2018.
2014 winner: Cobalt Light Systems for its liquid scanning system
Cobalt's liquid scanning system is now being used extensively in airport hand-baggage screening. However, the technology, based on Raman spectroscopy, has wider applications – Cobalt are now exploring the use of this technology in non-invasive cancer screening.
