Think about all the UK tea, tradition and rain afternoon? think again. The UK is becoming one of the hottest hub in the world for rapid innovation-a place where AI Start-up, Fintech Giants, and Green Tech Pioneer are shaping the future, a clever idea at a time.
It sits in all London’s silicone roundabouts in its heart – a surname for the Gulzar technology scene in East London. Here, smooth cum-comfortable locations rub shoulders with centuries old pubs, and start-up pitch to investors on oat milk flat white. From cyber security to blockchain, the technical talent of the capital is changing the head globally.
But innovation is not limited to London. Manchester has emerged as a northern powerhouse for media and digital industries, Adinburgh is pursuing boundaries in Fintech and Data Science, and Cambridge continues to lead the charge in AI and Biotech.
Meanwhile, the UK government is supporting technology in a large way – with initiatives such as Tech Nation, Digital Catapult and Investing in Clean Energy and Quantum Computing. Add to a diverse, multicultural workforce and a rich start-up ecosystem, and it is no wonder that the UK remains a magnet for global talent and VC funding.
Whether it is designing the next-round robots, re-shaping financial services, or dealing with climate change with smart tech, Britain is not only with the future-it is building.
