The exposure Tech Nation gives me to tech scaleups is huge, and I wouldn't get it elsewhere. I'm making a real impact on these businesses, which I love, but in terms of career progression it's a highly visible business in the ecosystem.

Tech scaleups are quickly forming a crucial part of the wider UK Economy and that's down to businesses like Tech Nation. Not only that, but it's not just London-specific, with support going out to businesses throughout the UK. Data shows the UK is the biggest tech ecosystem in Europe, and that TN runs the best programmes for that in the UK... it's obvious that what we're doing is making a difference.
