TechBritannia

Anyone working in infotech, biotech or cleantech should regard TechBritannia as a touch point to keep up to date on what individuals and organisations are doing to turn Britain into a global powerhouse of ideas and innovation. Our focus is not purely on British people but encompasses the multicultural mix of attitudes and philosophies that are prevalent in academic teams, start-ups and established companies based in the UK. Britain is the go-to place for mentorship, investment and inspiration but the news tends to be buried in the darker corners of the web.
