Tech Nation Rising Stars offers promise to startups outside of London
London is currently home to 13 tech unicorns (startups valued at more than $1bn), more than any other European city, and recent studies show that alternative UK tech hubs have little chance of catching up.
London leads the way in fields such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, virtual reality and big data. However, Tech Nation’s Rising Stars programme will offer some encouragement to startups based outside of the capital.
Of the ten startups selected, just one is based in London. The startups are based around the country, from major cities such as Liverpool, to small villages like Harwell.
Providing opportunities to tech workers outside of the capital is viewed as key to improving the tech scene elsewhere, and the success of these startups should offer some boost.
