Why read this Market Insights?
Amid turbulent economies, the UK region aims to position itself as the global technology hub by investing heavily in emerging technologies and developing startup ecosystems. Regions outside London, such as Manchester, Edinburgh, and Belfast, are becoming the new technology and startup acceleration hubs to support digital transformation in the UK region. Growing demand for enhancing cybersecurity posture, enabling ESG goals, and revolutionizing customer experience is pushing UK enterprises to partner with leading service providers to use emerging technologies for developing innovative solutions and optimizing costs. To support its digital innovation aspirations and deal with the ongoing talent crunch in the region, the UK government is investing in upskilling, recruiting, and attracting digital talent.
