Last week during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Founders Forum Group partnered with Barclays, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and the UK Government to host a reception focused on spotlighting the UK's leadership in technology and artificial intelligence. The intimate gathering of tech founders, investors, and policymakers featured opening remarks from the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, followed by an insightful panel discussion including Varun Chandra (PM's Special Advisor on Business & Investment), Aidan Gomez (Founder, Cohere) and May Habib (Founder, Writer). The discussion focused on the significance of UK investment, the advantages of developing and expanding teams within the UK's exceptional talent pool, and the opportunities and challenges of scaling a business, all in light of the UK government's recent AI announcements. Thank you to our co-hosts Barclays, Lightspeed, and the UK Government for helping bring together such an extraordinary group of minds at #WEF25 Brent Hoberman | Carolyn Dawson | Tech Nation #FoundersForumGroup #WhereTheFutureUnfolds #AI #Tech
