An evaluation of the impact of TechNation programmes

Notice Description

The UK Government has committed through the Digital Strategy to making the UK the best place to start and grow a digital business. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) leads on digital and recognises that to achieve this we need flourishing ecosystems and strong technology sectors, spread across the UK. In November 2017, the merging of TechCity UK and Tech North was announced to speed up the growth of the UK's pioneering and innovative digital companies and clusters.
