Nowhere is this more evident than in the Fintech sector where the UK is ranked number one in the world; an enviable position that has been established with decades of hard work, entrepreneurial talent, innovation and supportive policymakers. I&#8217;m confident that we have all the ingredients needed for continued success and even greater acceleration of the tech sector here in the UK.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And Gerard Grech, CEO, Tech Nation added:<em> \u201cThe UK continues to exceed all predictions when it comes to tech growth. This report shows how the UK is a critical hub when it comes to global technology developments, with scale-up tech investment being the highest in Europe, and only surpassed by the US, China and India. This is a testament to the innovation, ambition and tenacity of tech entrepreneurs across the UK. These valuable findings will help inform how the UK as a nation can continue to foster competition and collaboration in an increasingly interconnected world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7305\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.openbusinesscouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tech-nation-report.jpg\" alt=\"Tech Nation.

We are supporting British innovation so we can drive growth, jobs and higher living standards, including through \u00a32.5 billion for the British Business Bank. This funding will help high-growth firms to access the finance they need to succeed,\u201d pointed out the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rt Hon Philip Hammond MP.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The UK tech sector performed particularly well in investment last year. In 2018, the UK managed to attract 5% of global high-tech scaleup investment, placing it fourth in the world &#8211; ahead of Germany, France and Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Investment for UK high-growth digital tech firms also grew 61% between 2017 and 2018 \u2013 driven in large part by ambitious UK tech scaleups (tech scaleups delivered the majority of all tech investments in the UK in 2018 &#8211; \u00a35bn of \u00a36.3bn).<\/p>\n<p>The UK\u2019s strongest tech sub-sector, and where it currently ranks as number one in the world, is fintech, with investment in UK high-growth fintech firms achieving \u00a34.5bn between 2015 and 2018.<\/p>\n<p>London continues to remain the UK\u2019s leader in attracting high-growth tech investment, receiving \u00a39bn from 2015 to 2018. Cambridge is second, at \u00a3583m, with other UK cities continuing to make considerable ground.<\/p>\n<p>Looking beyond high-growth tech companies, the last 12 years have seen a much greater distribution of investment across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the East of England has seen the greatest increase in capital invested across all tech companies, at 206%, followed by the West Midlands (54%) and Yorkshire and the Humber (51%).<\/p>\n<p>On an international scale, UK cities continue to attract investment on the global stage.
