Good morning. It’s great to be back at London Tech Week at what I think is a moment of huge opportunity.
We are an island of innovation. But we are at a moment when the tectonic plates of technology are shifting. That’s not just in AI, but in quantum, synthetic biology, semiconductors, and much more. So we cannot rest and be satisfied with where we stand.
So, we must act and act quickly if we want to retain our position as one of the world’s tech capitals. We must aim to go even further and make this the best country in the world to start, grow, and invest in tech businesses.
That is my goal. And I feel a sense of urgency and responsibility to make sure that we seize this chance, because one of my five priorities is to grow our economy. And the more we innovate, the more we grow.
But this isn’t just about economics. Like you, I believe that innovation is one of the most powerful forces for transforming people’s lives. And right now, there is an opportunity for human progress that could surpass the industrial revolution in both speed and scale.
I believe the UK can achieve this goal because we start from a position of strength. We have created 134 unicorns in the last decade. That is the third in the world, behind only the US and China.
We’re one of the most digitally literate societies in the world, with a higher percentage of STEM graduates than the US and 4 of world’s top 10 universities.
We’ve got extraordinary strengths in Fintech, cyber industries, and engineering biology. With the Crick and the Biobank, not to mention DeepMind’s Alphafold, we’re pushing the boundaries of what is possible in health. And the UK is the best place in Europe to raise capital with more invested in technology here than in France and Germany combined.
But today, I want to answer a simple question. What’s the single most important reason innovators should choose this country?
The answer is leadership. Do you trust the people in charge to really get what you’re trying to do? With this government, and with me as your Prime Minister, you can.
Judge us not by our words, but by our actions. It’s this government that’s building the most pro-investment tax regime. We are increasing public R&D investment to record levels and that’s making our visa system for international talent one of the most competitive in the world. We’re overhauling our listing rules to make it easier for companies to raise public funding.
And we’re changing the way the government itself works. I created a new department focused on science, innovation, and technology with a mission to do things differently. Differently, I mean, the UK is bringing in world-leading experts and taking more risks in support of innovation. Remember, it was this government that acted to rescue Silicon Valley Bank.
So today, I’m proud to announce the launch of HSBC Innovation Banking. It is the most significant global technology bank which is headquartered here in the UK. And of course, it’s the UK where Google chose to bring together its entire AI division.
