Hermann Maria Hauser KBE (born 1948[6]) is an entrepreneur, venture capitalist and inventor who is primarily associated with the Cambridge technology community in England.[10][11][12][13][14]

Key Information

Education and early life

[edit]

When Hauser was 16 he went to the United Kingdom to learn English at a language school in Cambridge.[15] After a master's degree in physics from Vienna University,[6] he returned to King's College, Cambridge to do a PhD in physics at the Cavendish Laboratory.[6][8]

Career

[edit]

Hauser is probably best known for his part in setting up Acorn Computers with Chris Curry in 1978. When Olivetti took control of Acorn in 1985[16] he became vice-president for research at Olivetti, in charge of laboratories in the US and Europe. In 1986, Hauser co-founded the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) in Cambridge with Andy Hopper, who became the laboratory's director. Hauser's role in Acorn was portrayed by Edward Baker-Duly in the BBC drama Micro Men.[17][18]

In 1988, Hauser left Olivetti to start the Active Book Company, investing £1 million of his own money.[19] The company sought to develop a portable ARM-based microcomputer "the size of a paperback book", featuring a screen and stylus for interaction and employing a "book" metaphor known as Hyperpage.[20] The company planned to launch its first product after Christmas 1990, featuring an approximately A5-sized reflective display, automatic recognition of printed, as opposed to cursive, characters, and employing a multipurpose chip called Hercules featuring a static, low-power ARM core. A licensing agreement had been signed with Acorn for access to that company's hardware and software technology, and the company was seeking application developers for the platform.[21] The Active Book was intended to cost around $2,000, provide eight to ten hours of battery life, and was to run the Helios operating system.[22] Not wanting to repeat the mistakes made by Acorn, which had kept its technology to itself, he demonstrated the Active Book to as many large companies as he could. AT&T Corporation acquired Active Book in July 1991[23][better source needed] and incorporated it into their EO Personal Communicator, which was released in April 1993.[24] Hauser became chief technical officer and chairman of EO Europe. Sales did not meet expectations, and AT&T's EO subsidiary folded on 29 July 1994.

In 1990, Hauser was involved in spinning out Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) from Acorn.[25]

In 1993, Hauser set up Advanced Telecommunication Modules Ltd with Andy Hopper. The company was acquired by Conexant Systems on 1 March 2004. He founded NetChannel Ltd in June 1996 as a holding company to begin work on marketing the NetStation. NetChannel was sold to AOL in 1996.[26] He claimed in the 1990s that the networking technology used for AppleTalk was based on the (unpatented) Cambridge Ring.[27][12]

In 1997 he co-founded Amadeus Capital Partners Ltd,[28][29] a venture capital company, and in 1998 he co-founded Cambridge Network with David Cleevely and Alec Broers.[30]

In 2000, Plastic Logic was founded, with Hauser as chairman.[31]

On 14 June 2001, the Hauser-Raspe Foundation was registered as a charity to advance education, by Hauser and his wife Pamela Raspe.

In August 2004, Amadeus Capital Partners led the Series B venture capital financing of Solexa, and Hauser joined its board of directors. Solexa developed a next-generation DNA sequencing technology which became the market leader; the company was sold to Illumina, Inc of San Diego in January 2007 for over $US600 million. In 2009, Hauser was announced as the first customer of the Illumina Personal Genome Sequencing service.[32]

As of 2009, Hauser is the head of the East Anglia Stem Cell research network.

Hauser is a non-executive director of Cambridge Display Technology, a non-executive director of XMOS[33] Ltd and a member of the board of Red-M (Communications) Ltd. He holds honorary doctorates from the Universities of Bath and Loughborough and from Anglia Ruskin University. He is a member of the advisory board on the Higher Education Innovation Fund, and of the UK's Council for Science and Technology.

Hauser was commissioned by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to write a report on technology and innovation in the UK.[34][35] Publication of the report in 2010 led to the establishment of Catapult centres[36] with £200 million of government funding.[37]

He was co-founder of ARM Holdings, the Cambridge-based microchip manufacturer that was bought in 2016 by Japan's SoftBank.[38]

Since 2015, he is actively supporting Austrian start-ups and technology companies. In particular, he has invested in 2017 in the MEMS-speaker start-up "USound"[39][40] and in eyeson,[41] a cloud based Unified Communications solution nominated by Gartner Inc. as Cool Vendor in Unified Communications, 2017.[42][43]

In 2022, he invested in the Munich based quantum computing startup planqc, a spin-off from the renowned Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, and joined the advisory board.[44]

Awards and honours

[edit]

Hauser was voted the UK's "Computer Personality of the Year" of 1984.[45] In 2010, Eureka, in its "100 most important scientists", placed Hauser at 51.[46] He became patron of The Centre for Computing History in December 2011, 30 years after the launch of the BBC Micro.[47]

In 2001, Hauser became an Honorary Doctor at Anglia Ruskin University.[48] On 8 July 2002, Hauser was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP) and an International Fellow[5] of the Royal Academy of Engineering[5] (FREng). In May 2004 he presented the prestigious IEE Pinkerton Lecture. In 2005, Hauser received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as a venture capitalist and entrepreneur.[49] The award was presented at the annual European Electronics Industry Awards in London.[50] Hauser was awarded an Honorary CBE for "innovative service to the UK enterprise sector" in 2001.[51] In 1998, Hauser was elected into an honorary fellowship of Hughes Hall, Cambridge, and he was also elected into an honorary fellowship of King's College, Cambridge with effect from 1 January 2000. In the same year he was awarded the Mountbatten Medal.[52]

Hauser was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2012.[4] His nomination reads:

Distinguished as a science-based innovator and serial-entrepreneur whose ventures have been at the forefront of UK innovation. A major contributor to the global technology and growth agendas and an influential member of senior policy making bodies. An inspiration and role-model for generations of entrepreneurs who has been directly involved in many companies, providing enthusiasm, mentoring, and financing leading to technology based wealth creation at scale.[3]

His contributions earned him election as a , a Knight Commander of the , and recognition as a leading figure in transforming into a global hub for technology entrepreneurship.

Early Life and Education

Upbringing and Initial Influences

Hermann Hauser was born in , , in October 1948, to parents from different regions of the country: his mother originated from , while his father hailed from Tyrol and operated a wine wholesale business that he expanded from a small family inheritance into a firm employing around 30 people. As the eldest of two sons, Hauser grew up primarily in the Tyrolean village of near , a with a population of about 200-300 during his childhood in the and , where his family lived in proximity to local ski lifts and maintained ties to traditional Tyrolean farming and innkeeping roots on his paternal side. His bilingual and bicultural upbringing reflected Austria's post-war recovery context, with his mother, a seamstress who later became a after working in her father's industrial belt enterprise, placing strong emphasis on despite neither parent having attended . Hauser's initial education began with primary schooling in the local Bruckhäusl area from ages 6 to 10, followed by attendance at the Gymnasium in from ages 11 to 18, where he benefited from Austria's rigorous classical curriculum encompassing physics, , and music. Despite early from a teacher regarding his aptitude, he passed the Gymnasium entrance exam with targeted private tuition, fostering resilience shaped by his parents' expectations. Key personal influences included his father's entrepreneurial example in scaling a modest , which instilled practical , and familial exposure to through an uncle who was a and jeweler, introducing him to physics and concepts, as well as a formative book on quantum physics. Additionally, a family friend, Dr. Puchwald—a jeweler with a background in and physics from —engaged Hauser in discussions on and , igniting his enduring passion for the field during his formative years. At age 15 in 1964, Hauser's father mandated training, prompting a summer course in , , which provided early exposure to British academic environments and foreshadowed his later relocation there for higher studies. This period, combined with a brief childhood contemplation of the priesthood amid a broad intellectual exploration, underscored his transition toward scientific pursuits, culminating in undergraduate studies in physics at the before pursuing advanced research abroad.

Academic Training and Research

Hauser was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1948 and initially studied physics at the University of Vienna, where he earned an MA. At the age of 15, he traveled to Cambridge to learn English, an experience that sparked his early connection to the city's scientific community. While completing his master's in Vienna, he worked as a summer research assistant at the Cavendish Laboratory, the physics department of the University of Cambridge, gaining hands-on exposure to experimental solid-state physics. Hauser then pursued doctoral research at the Cavendish Laboratory, earning a PhD in physics in 1975. Under the supervision of Professor Neville Mott, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist known for contributions to the theory of solids, Hauser investigated the electronic properties of amorphous semiconductors. This work aligned with the Cavendish's strengths in condensed matter physics, where amorphous materials—lacking long-range crystalline order—were of interest for understanding charge transport and potential applications in early semiconductor devices. His training emphasized empirical experimentation and theoretical modeling of disordered systems, reflecting the laboratory's tradition of bridging fundamental science with practical innovations. Following his PhD, Hauser's interests began intersecting with emerging computing , as the Cavendish hosted groups exploring microprocessors during the mid-1970s. However, his academic contributions remained rooted in physics, with no major publications or independent lines documented beyond his period, as he soon transitioned toward applied development. Hauser later received honorary doctorates from institutions including the Universities of , Bath, , and , recognizing his broader impact on science-to-business translation rather than specific academic outputs.

Entrepreneurial Career

Founding of Acorn Computers

Hermann Hauser co-founded Acorn Computers with Chris Curry in 1978 in Cambridge, England, initially establishing the venture as Cambridge Processing Unit Ltd (CPU Ltd) before adopting the Acorn trading name shortly thereafter. Hauser, who held a PhD in physics from the University of Cambridge and had conducted research on speech recognition at the Cavendish Laboratory, brought technical expertise in microelectronics, while Curry contributed manufacturing and business experience gained from his prior role at Sinclair Research. The duo left Sinclair due to frustrations with its limited focus on kit-based systems and sought to develop more advanced, self-financed computer designs through mail-order sales, a model inspired by earlier successes in the hobbyist market. The company's founding was driven by the emerging demand for personal computing in the late 1970s, with Hauser advocating early for in-house design capabilities as essential for in the industry. Acorn's first product, the , was a build-it-yourself kit based on the processor, released in early 1979 for approximately £80 (excluding case and power supply), targeting electronics enthusiasts seeking superior performance over contemporaries like the MK14. This kit featured 1 KB of RAM, expandable to 32 KB, and supported , marking Acorn's entry into a market dominated by imported systems from the . Early operations were bootstrapped with minimal capital, relying on Curry's connections and Hauser's technical vision to iterate rapidly on prototypes in modest premises at 4A Market Hill, . later joined as a key engineer, contributing to hardware development, though the core founding impetus stemmed from Hauser and Curry's shared ambition to foster British in computing hardware amid global competition. By emphasizing custom silicon integration from inception, positioned itself for future advancements, though initial sales volumes remained modest until subsequent models gained traction.

Development and Spin-Out of ARM Holdings

In the early 1980s, , co-founded by Hermann Hauser in 1978, faced the need for an advanced processor to succeed the BBC Microcomputer, which had propelled the company's growth through a partnership with the British Broadcasting Corporation. Hauser, leveraging his physics background and access to IBM's research on reduced instruction set computing (RISC), directed the initiation of an in-house RISC project in 1983 to avoid dependency on external suppliers like , whose chips were unavailable or cost-prohibitive. The engineering team, including and , completed the prototype—a 32-bit RISC emphasizing simplicity, low power consumption, and high performance—by October 1985, marking the first such chip to boot an operating system. Following Hauser's appointment as vice president of research amid Acorn's mid-1980s financial strains and partial acquisition by , the ARM architecture evolved into production silicon. The ARM2, an enhanced version, powered the launched in 1987, demonstrating superior efficiency over complex instruction set rivals like the , with early benchmarks showing it executing instructions up to three times faster at similar clock speeds. This success attracted interest from Apple Computer, which, after evaluating prototypes in 1989, committed investment to adapt for portable devices, recognizing its potential for battery-powered systems. VLSI Technology joined to handle fabrication, addressing Acorn's limited manufacturing scale. By 1990, 's ongoing profitability issues—exacerbated by market shifts toward PC compatibles—necessitated separating the processor from systems to unlock its value independently. Hauser, as a key Acorn executive and technical visionary, facilitated the spin-out, culminating in the formation of Advanced RISC Machines Ltd () on 14 November 1990 as a : Acorn held 40%, Apple 43.3%, and VLSI 16.7%, with the entity retaining Acorn's 40-person RISC team and focusing on licensing rather than full chip production. This structure preserved Acorn's core business while enabling to adopt a fabless, IP-centric model, which Hauser's strategic oversight helped pioneer, laying the groundwork for the company's dominance in embedded and mobile processors.

Subsequent Ventures and Innovations

In the early 1990s, Hauser co-founded Advanced Telecommunications Modules Ltd (ATML) with , developing (ATM) switches for high-speed networking to enable efficient data, voice, and video transmission over telecommunications infrastructure. ATML targeted the emerging demand for connectivity, positioning itself as a key player in the transition from circuit-switched to packet-switched networks. Hauser also co-founded in 1993, a firm specializing in access technologies, including (DSL) modems and voice-over-IP (VoIP) processors that facilitated deployments of high-speed residential and business connections. Virata's innovations centered on system-on-chip designs that integrated multiple networking functions, reducing costs and power consumption for early equipment. In the mid-, Hauser co-founded , the British subsidiary of the U.S.-based online brokerage, which introduced platforms allowing retail investors to execute trades via the internet, marking an early adoption of in within . This venture leveraged secure web-based interfaces and real-time market data to democratize access to capital markets, processing thousands of trades daily by the late . Later, in 2000, Hauser facilitated the founding of Plastic Logic as a spin-out from the , focusing on for flexible, low-cost displays using plastic transistors instead of rigid silicon-based alternatives. The company commercialized organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), enabling roll-to-roll manufacturing of e-paper and electronic readers; it raised $100 million in 2009 to build the world's first plastic electronics production facility in , , targeting applications in lightweight, unbreakable screens for portable devices.

Venture Capital and Investments

Establishment of Amadeus Capital Partners

Amadeus Capital Partners was co-founded in 1997 by Hermann Hauser, Anne Glover, and Peter Wynn to provide for early-stage companies in the UK and . The firm aimed to bridge gaps in funding for innovative ventures, drawing on the founders' combined expertise in entrepreneurship and investment; Hauser contributed his track record from establishing and , while Glover brought operational experience from prior roles in and . The inaugural fund, Amadeus I, raised £50 million specifically for investments in , marking an early emphasis on sectors like software, semiconductors, and where Hauser had prior successes. This initial capital enabled the firm to back high-potential startups, focusing on scalable innovations with global market potential rather than short-term returns. Establishment occurred amid a nascent European VC ecosystem, positioning Amadeus to capitalize on Cambridge's technology cluster and address underinvestment in relative to the . Early operations reflected a hands-on approach, with Hauser and Glover actively sourcing deals through personal networks in academia and industry, prioritizing founder quality and technological disruption over purely financial metrics. The firm's strategy emphasized long-term value creation, navigating initial challenges like limited interest in European tech during the late .

Key Investments and Portfolio Focus

Amadeus Capital Partners, co-founded by Hermann Hauser in 1997, concentrates its investments on sectors, emphasizing early-stage European startups that address complex challenges in large markets through scientific innovation. The firm's portfolio prioritizes three core pillars: Intelligence, encompassing , , quantum technologies, and advanced computing; Human, focusing on , , diagnostics, and wellness advancements; and Planet, targeting , novel materials, energy solutions, and space utilization. This approach stems from a commitment to backing research spin-outs and scalable technologies, often originating from institutions like the , with investments spanning seed to growth stages. Since inception, Amadeus has deployed over $1.3 billion across 22 funds to support more than 190 companies, achieving a track record of 5 , 3 initial public offerings, and over 70 acquisitions. Hauser, serving as Venture Partner from , influences selections across these pillars, leveraging his expertise in semiconductors and computing to prioritize ventures with strong and global potential. Key investments highlight this focus, including Graphcore, a UK-based AI chip designer that reached unicorn status in 2019 through its Intelligence pillar processor innovations before pursuing public markets; Photonic, which secured $140 million by November 2023 for fault-tolerant and networking platforms; and Paragraf, developing semiconductors for sensing and electronics applications. In the domain, exits like OrganOx (organ preservation systems) and Congenica (genomics analytics for rare diseases) demonstrate clinical impact, while Planet-oriented bets include ATMOS Space Cargo for reusable space logistics and Offset Labs for hardware. Earlier successes, such as lastminute.com ( e-commerce unicorn acquired in 2005), underscore the firm's evolution from internet-era plays to mission-critical . This selective strategy avoids hype-driven sectors, favoring verifiable technical barriers and long-term value creation over short-term trends.

Policy Positions and Public Advocacy

Critiques of Brexit and Technological Sovereignty

Hauser has described as "the biggest loss of sovereignty since 1066," arguing that the 's departure from the on January 31, 2020, severed access to collaborative frameworks essential for technological advancement. He contends that true technological sovereignty requires interdependence rather than isolation, as no single nation, including the with its population of approximately 67 million, can independently sustain the scale of R&D investment—estimated at trillions globally—needed to compete with dominant players like the and . Post- regulatory divergences, such as differing data protection standards and trade barriers, have exacerbated this, limiting firms' seamless integration into European supply chains and talent pools. In linking Brexit to diminished technological sovereignty, Hauser has highlighted the 2023 Nasdaq listing of ARM Holdings—valued at $54 billion upon debut—as a direct consequence of eroded London market attractiveness, attributing it partly to "Brexit idiocy" that deterred institutional investors wary of post-exit uncertainties. He asserts the UK has "no chance in hell" of achieving tech self-reliance without EU alignment, given dependencies on foreign components and markets; for instance, the smartphone revolution, powered by ARM's architecture, relied on global ecosystems that Brexit fragmented. Hauser advocates rejoining collaborative initiatives like Horizon Europe, from which the UK was initially excluded post-Brexit before partial readmission in 2024, to regain influence over standards in AI, semiconductors, and quantum computing. Hauser's critique extends to broader realpolitik, warning that Brexit's emphasis on political sovereignty over economic integration cedes ground to US tech giants (controlling ~70% of cloud infrastructure) and Chinese state-backed firms, potentially rendering Europe—and by extension the UK—a "digital colony." He proposes targeted investments in sovereign capabilities, such as open-source alternatives to proprietary stacks, but maintains these are infeasible without EU-scale coordination, citing the bloc's €95 billion Horizon program as a model for pooled resources. This position reflects his self-described "passionate" Europeanism, viewing Brexit as a tactical error that prioritizes symbolic independence over pragmatic competitiveness in a field where 90% of deep tech patents originate outside the UK.

Views on EU Regulation, Global Competition, and Innovation Policy

Hauser has criticized regulatory frameworks for impeding , particularly by lacking flexibility for high-risk technologies. In a , he emphasized the need for "regulatory agility" and "room for experimentation" to enable breakthroughs in areas like and autonomous driving, warning that overly cautious rules prevent Europe from commercializing research as effectively as the . As vice chair of the European Innovation Council (EIC), established in 2018 under , he has supported policies that prioritize scaling startups over mere research funding, replicating the success of the by addressing Europe's failure to turn scientific excellence into global champions. Regarding global competition, Hauser views the technological rivalry between the , , and as a contest for , where dependence on foreign IP and manufacturing exposes nations to coercion. In a March 2021 commentary, he highlighted U.S. actions like excluding from markets and 's aggressive semiconductor investments—outpacing the U.S. with superior engineering talent—as threats that could reverse Western dominance, urging to develop alternatives to American IP monopolies (e.g., in digital payments) and Chinese production dominance. He has pointed to blocked mergers, such as NVIDIA's attempted acquisition of in 2020–2022, as evidence of competition authorities safeguarding sovereignty amid U.S.- tensions. For innovation policy, Hauser recommends substantial public investment to counter adversaries' scale: a €100 billion Fund to match U.S. ($100 billion) and Chinese commitments in AI, , and , alongside a UK-specific £5 billion annual fund to nurture deep-tech firms from startups to . In June 2022, he praised Europe's "values-based" model—sharing technology among like-minded partners—as uniquely scalable for building alliances, contrasting it with hegemonic U.S. and Chinese approaches, while advocating reciprocity (e.g., joint IP for factory access) and international standards bodies to regulate dual-use technologies without stifling progress. He stresses that "you are never going to have breakthrough ideas without risk," positioning high-reward ventures as essential for Europe to avoid technological vassalage.

Contributions to the UK Technology Ecosystem and Debates

Hauser has been instrumental in fostering the technology cluster, often dubbed "," through serial entrepreneurship and mentorship. Co-founding in 1978, he contributed to the development of the , a pivotal that boosted UK computing education and laid groundwork for subsequent innovations. This effort helped catalyze the region's transformation into a high-tech hub, with Hauser recognized as one of its founding figures, supporting over 100 spin-out companies via direct involvement and the Hauser-Raspe Foundation. His work exemplified effective university-industry collaboration, drawing on University's research talent to build a self-sustaining ecosystem of firms in semiconductors, software, and . A landmark contribution was the 1990 spin-out of from , where Hauser served as co-founder and initial leader, pioneering energy-efficient RISC processors that powered billions of devices worldwide. ARM's success marked the first technology firm to achieve £1 billion in annual revenues by the and licensed designs for over 10 billion chips, demonstrating scalable IP licensing as a model for deep-tech exports. This venture not only generated substantial economic value—contributing to Cambridge's cluster valuation exceeding $191 billion by 2024—but also highlighted the potential of spin-outs to compete globally when backed by patient capital and technical focus. Nationally, Hauser's 2010 report to the government advocated for and Centres to bridge academia and industry, akin to Germany's Fraunhofer model, prompting over £200 million in initial funding for the Catapult network. Launched in 2011-2013 with seven centers, the network expanded under his 2014 review's recommendation for 30 by 2030, facilitating commercialization in sectors like advanced and applications, with evidenced economic multipliers in high-value areas. These initiatives addressed chronic weaknesses in , where pre-report R&D investment yielded limited market impact due to fragmented scaling support. Hauser's analyses have shaped debates on innovation , emphasizing causal gaps in applied and the risks of over-reliance on basic science without mechanisms. His reports critiqued insufficient public-private alignment, arguing for sustained to rival venture models and coordinated efforts, influencing discussions on amid global tech dependencies. Public statements, such as on the infeasibility of isolated tech , have underscored realism in cluster-building, prioritizing interdependence over insular strategies. This meta-perspective, drawn from decades of direct involvement, counters optimistic narratives by highlighting empirical needs for reforms in , talent retention, and international collaboration.
