Labour Party conference

Unleashing UK Tech – How Embracing UK Tech Can Help a Labour Government Achieve its Mission for Growth

Hosted by

Trainline
The UK enjoys a rich history of innovation and is only the third country in the world to have its tech sector valued at $1+ trillion. The country has generated more unicorn companies than France and Germany combined and its tech sector now adds over £150bn to the economy. Yet for all this success, it cannot be ignored that the UK has failed to produce global challengers to the biggest US firms. With the clear potential for tech to boost economic growth and break down barriers to opportunity, this panel will explore challenges holding back British tech companies, how a Labour government can help the sector overcome these, and the scale of the opportunity for UK tech to help a Labour govt deliver on its missions and help rebuild Britain. Panellists will include Rt Hon. Peter Kyle MP, State for Science, Innovation and Technology; Dom Hallas, Executive Director of the Startup Coalition (formerly Coadec); Casey Calista, Industry Chair of Labour Digital, co-founder of the Women in Tech Policy Network, and the Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Vorboss; and a Senior Representative from Trainline.
