As Brits, our natural inclination is to be self-deprecating. Talk things down. Even demonstrate a significant degree of scepticism. Sometimes, this is fair. But often it isn’t. When it comes to our tech sector’s prospects, it is arguably rather off the mark. Whichever political party forms the next government post-July 4th, they have a real opportunity to reshape the UK tech scene for the better.
We have some of the world’s best scientists, engineers, and business leaders here in the UK, who have emerged from a rich tech talent pool. Much of this stems from the academic prestige of our universities, with the UK boasting some of the premier academic institutions in the world. Coupled with a relatively stable economy, and great access to both the US and Europe, it’s why so many foreign companies lay down roots here.
