Increased interest in Digital Shoreditch 2013 mirrors the efforts made in both the public and private sector to enable high-growth businesses in the UK to scale rapidly and reach their full potential. On the public sector side, Chancellor George Osborne and Joanna Shields, Chief Executive of Tech City, today unveiled a new programme designed to connect high-growth businesses with tailored information and expertise, helping accelerate their growth and laying the foundations for a successful listing in the UK. The programme, called “The Future Fifty,” will offer eligible companies a single point of contact to guide them through, and take advantage of multiple publicly-funded schemes and incentives that will further extend their growth.
Digital Shoreditch 2013’s growth is reflecting London’s ambition to become one of Europe’s technology capitals, which has already attracted leading venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and prominent figures from the digital and technology fields. This year’s festival starts on May 20 at Shoreditch Town Hall bringing together the companies and organisations that make up the area’s 1400 strong technology cluster and explores ways to exploit the growing global engagement with the digital economy and society.
Kam Star, founder of Digital Shoreditch added “The London digital and technology scene is changing as rapidly as the underlying technology. London has repositioned itself as one of the world’s most innovative digital and technology capitals. The London Mayor’s office recent announcement of a £22 million fund for technology start-ups, plus today’s The Future Fifty, is proof that momentum for London as a technology city is riding high. Testimony of this technology buzz is the fact that we’re heading for selling out of tickets for the Digital Shoreditch festival taking place in less than a month, from May 20th to May 31st in East London”.
