UK government to invest 1m in building out regional tech clusters | Computer Weekly
Briefly

The UK government is investing £1 million to enhance regional tech clusters beyond London. The Regional Tech Booster programme, managed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, aims to support entrepreneurs through mentoring, funding, and skills development. This initiative addresses the innovation gap between London and regions such as Scotland and northern England. The programme is part of the government's economic strategy, promoting technological growth across the UK. The investment underscores the belief that tech innovation exists outside the capital, enhancing the potential of regional tech ecosystems.
"Tech innovation doesn't stop at the M25, and we're choosing to invest in the talent and ideas flourishing across the UK."
"This investment forms an important part of our Plan for Change to kickstart economic growth in every part of the UK."
