Emerging Tech Investors Forum
The Government has set out a clear ambition: double the number of UK unicorns, cut the regulatory burden on business, and make Britain the place where high-growth companies start and scale.
The question now is whether that ambition becomes investable reality.
The Emerging Tech Investors Forum brings the people who allocate capital into the same room as the people who write policy. Investors from across crypto and emerging technology will join founders, parliamentarians, policymakers and education leaders to look at what is still holding back investment in UK tech, and what it would take to put more capital to work here.
What we’ll cover
Where UK policy is working for investors, and where it still creates friction
What investors need to deploy more capital domestically rather than overseas
How to keep founders, talent and companies in the UK as they scale
Why crypto and blockchain belong in the wider emerging tech investment story
The format
The forum opens with a ministerial keynote, followed by a panel of senior investors and technology leaders. The session will close by identifying three to five concrete barriers or policy opportunities that Government can act on to improve the UK investment environment for emerging technology.
Who should attend
MPs, peers and their staff; officials working on growth, investment and digital policy; and investors, founders and policy experts working in crypto, AI and frontier technology.
Why it matters
The UK has world-class talent, institutions and technical expertise. But growth policy should be judged not only by the rules it sets, but by whether founders can raise money, scale their businesses and stay in Britain. This forum offers policymakers a practical, ground-level view from the people making those investment decisions.
