The state of UK tech and how Britain can truly become a Science Superpower

Mike Lynch delivered the Alan Turing Lecture at the Braemar Summit in Scotland last week, providing insights into the changing technological landscape of Britain, the country’s place in the world, and what needs to be done to ensure that top tech businesses don’t move abroad.

Mike Lynch: “Strategic importance, sovereignty, security - we need to realise that technology is about Britain’s place in the world. We want to be listened to by our allies and respected by our enemies and this is the currency of making that happen. We have an exceptional science base in the UK, we now need an exceptional ambition to go with it.”
