Yesterday’s announcement during London Tech Week of the UK’s £1.1 billion AI Hardware Plan, backing British firms developing the chips and computing power behind AI, set the tone for a decisive shift in how we support the next wave of innovation. You could really feel that momentum across Olympia. Founders, investors and industry all in one place, sharing ideas and building what comes next. Our Executive Chair, Tom Adeyoola, opened the Founders Stage. With standing room only and the audience spilling well beyond the space, it was a clear signal of the appetite not just to start but to scale innovation in the UK. And the conversations continued across the floor, from cutting-edge tech on display to the connections being made.
