💡#DidYouKnow that startups in the South West are 17% more likely to succeed beyond 5 years compared to those in London? We launched the first South West Tech Prospectus in London last week, with over 100 investors and tech enthusiasts in attendance. 🤖 🌱Developed in partnership with Microsoft, Barclays Eagle Labs, Future Space - Bristol, and Neighbourly, the Look South West Prospectus spotlights the South West as a powerhouse in sustainable tech. 📊By the numbers: - 18,527 tech companies - £46.7bn turnover in 2023 - £24.1bn from net zero tech like marine, agritech, and climate tech 🌟Special thanks to leaders from Altilium Clean Technology, Kelpi, LettUs Grow, Additive.earth, Cleaner Seas Group®, Oxi-Tech Solutions Limited, Molendotech Ltd , ARC Marine®, Filmily, and Space AI, who were amongst the companies that took to the stage to showcase how our region is pioneering the charge towards a greener future. A few of our key asks: 1. Increase British Business Bank funding by 20% to equalise opportunities for the South West tech sector with other regions. 2. Promote the South West as a leader in the creative industries by investing in culture-rich education and new creative technologies. 3. Recognise Bristol and the South West as major UK hubs for deep tech with a sustained investment strategy for public and private sector growth. As the 2024 UK General Election nears, we’re pushing for the South West to play a pivotal role in the UK’s industrial future.
