  • How the UK will become a world leader in FinTech to rival Silicon Valley

    July 30, 2015

    Innovate Finance’s manifesto outlines our vision for FinTech  2020 for the UK.

  • A quiet tech revolution is happening – not in Shoreditch or Birmingham – but in Croydon

    July 30, 2015

    I read Nick Holzherr’s recent article championing Birmingham’s Silicon Canal with a mixture of interest and a large degree of scepticism.   As the founder of Croydon Tech City, I agree that the UK’s technological future doesn’t lie solely with the denizens of Old Street. But I argue vehemently with his alternative. If you want [...]

  • Forget Silicon Valley and Silicon Roundabout: Birmingham’s Silicon Canal is the future of the UK’s technology sector

    July 23, 2015

    For years now we've been told that London could rival the Silicon Valley with its own tech hub. But five years after launching my business, I’m a bigger advocate for Birmingham's Silicon Canal than I have ever been.  There is an incredible talent pool in Birmingham that offers a wealth of brilliant software engineers.
