We are pleased to be a part of the latest UK Innovation Update report from HSBC Innovation Banking and Dealroom.co - a report that highlights the strength of the UK's innovation ecosystem and the growing momentum behind deep tech and quantum computing. As Gerald Mullally, our CEO, commented: “Investors are no longer backing quantum simply as frontier science; they are backing technology that can underpin AI, financial services, security and defence…. The UK has the technology and talent to build global winners; the priority now is converting capital, customer demand and sovereign interest into long-term commercial scale in the UK.” Read it here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e6iiEXBJ #QuantumComputing #DeepTech #Innovation #UKTech #RegionalGrowth
