Charting a course for the future: How London's startup scene can survive and thrive in the age of Brexit
Article
This report presents the findings of IPPR's research into the tech startup ecosystem in London at a time of deep uncertainty as the prospect of Brexit looms large.
The purpose of this research was to listen to the views of the London tech startup community about the impact of Brexit on the ecosystem and the role of government at the current time, particularly in relation to the government's Digital Charter.
Drawing upon the tech startup community's concerns and ideas for change, the report makes a series of recommendations for the future and conveys five key messages for policy and decision makers as to the challenges and opportunities of startups for London and the wider UK economy.
