Founded in 2003, Cambridge-based DisplayLink is a chip and software company that features its technology in a wide range of products from leading computer brands. Its products support the transition from desktop computers to notebooks and mobile devices and more recently a "Virtual Desktop" silicon and software that enables applications to be run on local or remote servers via cloud computing.
The company's rapid growth has benefited from seed funding and two rounds of venture capital, totaling some $60m. "We're now at that hockey-stick growth stage which all successful technology companies reach. So we have to stay focused on our core strengths as we launch new applications for our technology," says CEO Craig Ensley.
Ensley credits the company's success to the team's ability to optimise their semiconductor and software offering to lead industry change. "Innovation has driven our rapid growth," he says. "Our core strength is in delivering powerful interactive virtual graphics solutions that optimise the user experience."
