“London’s tech sector is the envy of cities around the world. It makes a massive contribution to our economy and plays a crucial role in London’s international reputation as a hub for innovation. I’m proud to launch my TechInvest events, in partnership with the UKBAA, and to lead by example in supporting this thriving sector. These events will showcase the fantastic creativity of these companies and will enable the city’s tech entrepreneurs to connect with leading investors. I’m confident that by helping them access much needed investment they can realise their potential to grow and develop.” – Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London.
