Tech Nation: Applications now open for our growth programmes
We are delighted to announce that we have officially opened applications for our growth and sector programmes. Since 2014, Tech Nation has supported 845 UK tech companies, and our alumni companies have created 11,000 jobs within the UK economy. We are currently looking for 160 companies to join our next 6 growth programmes: Upscale 7.0, Future Fifty 10.0, Net Zero 2.0, Applied AI 3.0, Fintech 4.0 and new programme Libra 1.0.
We are excited to announce the launch of the new programme Libra. Libra is an initiative to tackle the lack of racial diversity within the UK tech sector, with the inaugural 1.0 iteration focussing on supporting Black founders and their companies at a crucial stage of their scaling journey. With future iterations aiming to support further founders from underrepresented groups, the Libra programme aims to ultimately strengthen the UK’s position as one of the best places in the world to start and grow a business – for everyone.

“We are so excited to open applications for our growth and sector programmes, as well as introducing our new programme Libra. Having supported 845 companies since 2014, the Tech Nation network is world-class and the opportunity for peer-to-peer learning is invaluable. There has never been a better time to explore which of our growth programmes would suit your tech company and help it to thrive” Parveen Danda, Head of Programmes at Tech Nation.
Since 2014, Tech Nation has supported 845 UK tech companies, who have in turn created a total of 11,000 jobs within the UK economy. Our alumni companies have raised a total £20 billion and currently employ 100,000 people. Out of the alumni companies, 20 of them have become unicorns as of February 2021, and 9 of our alumni companies have IPO’d.
We focus our programmes on the entirety of the UK, and last year 63% of the companies we supported were from outside of London.
