The Regional Tech Booster Programme will provide mentoring and support for founders outside of London.


A new government initiative to back tech entrepreneurs outside of London has launched, supported by £1m of funding.


The Regional Tech Booster Programme from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), aims to close the gap between the UK capital and the country’s other tech ecosystems.
