Show Notes

Tech Nation – a key player in the UK tech startup scene for over a decade – has shuttered its doors. But Barclays Eagle Labs will continue where its predecessor left off, with millions of promised funding in addition to the government’s £12 million digital growth grant hoped to spur investment.

While questions around visa commitments have yet to be answered, firms outside of southeast England could nevertheless be swayed by Barclays Eagle Labs’ nationwide reach and sector expertise.

In this episode, Jane and Rory speak to Ross Kelly, ITPro’s startups & small business specialist and staff writer, to reveal the current state of UK startups and the mood following the cessation of Tech Nation’s activities.
