"The government has unveiled 14 Regional Tech Booster projects as part of its £1m programme to provide businesses and entrepreneurs with targeted training and expert guidance. In partnership with UK Tech Cluster Group (UKTCG), the £1m aims to deliver local expertise and includes a series of investment events under a National Investment Corridors initiative, through which the government is seeking to put local tech centre stage, boosting investment into the UK's tech talent from beyond the capital. The first two of these events are taking place in Bristol and Leeds later this year."
"Tech for growth minister Kanishka Narayan MP said: "We want UK tech to grow and succeed from any and every corner of the country. It's a no-brainer that supporting projects like these, and encouraging more investment across the UK, will catalyse our tech brilliance to boost economic growth and opportunities for communities nationwide.""
"The projects receiving Regional Tech Booster funding include Tramshed Tech's AI Innovation Challenge, which aims to deliver artificial intelligence (AI) capability and innovation across Wales, and ScotlandIS's Future Ready in Scotland, which aims to break down the barriers that often prevent tech founders in rural or remote communities from accessing opportunities typically available in more urban or connected areas through creating peer networks."
The UK government launched 14 Regional Tech Booster projects backed by a £1m programme to provide targeted training and expert guidance for businesses and entrepreneurs. The initiative partners with UK Tech Cluster Group and features National Investment Corridors investment events to showcase local tech and attract funding from beyond London, with initial events planned in Bristol and Leeds. The programme includes workshops on tech ecosystem planning and sharing best practices with local authorities. Funded projects target AI capability across Wales, peer networks for rural Scottish founders, AI adoption pilots in Northern Ireland, and regional support for growth and investment.
