Tech Nation

Last chance to shape the UK tech agenda 🇬🇧 Last year, you shared your views in the Tech Nation Survey and we took your feedback directly to HM Treasury and Number 10. Your voice didn’t just sit in a report. It shaped the conversation at the highest levels of Government. Now we’re building the 2026 picture. As the UK competes in the global AI race, we’re asking: What’s changed? What still needs fixing? Where should Government focus next? It takes 2 minutes and it goes straight into the rooms that matter. This is your final chance to contribute. Complete the 2026 Tech Nation Survey today: https://lnkd.in/gAbXcWbG
