What happens now that Tech Nation has gone?
The news that Tech Nation would cease operating from March 31st – after losing out on £12m in government funding to Barclays – brought to an end more than a decade of support for the UK’s tech startups from the organisation.
More than 140 UK tech founders, executives and investors responded with an open letter to the Government, organised by The Coalition for a Digital Economy (Coadec), which raised concerns about the news that the public funding had been awarded to Barclays.
