Feel like becoming a Titan?
The
BBC news site has an article today titled
"UK could become hi-tech titan", all we need to do is use our strengths. The article was based on a
report from
Deloitte saying that the "UK was at a key point in its potential development as a hi-tech nation. Currently Britain has a strong science base, a thriving community of innovators, a strong economy and financial market". The article goes on to state that in terms of software development, we only lack a presence like Microsoft in the global market. Whilst that may be challenging, it is heartening to think that with better communication with the financial sector and strengthening support from the government, the results would lead to benefit for the country as a whole.
