Finance and talent are two important factors for fostering growth in the UK's tech sector - but what about other resources?   Beauhurst have recently released a report that covers what they call growth infrastructure — these are the factors outside finance and talent that promote growth in the tech industry. Businesses also need computers, data storage, energy, and multiple different types of labs to grow.   The report includes key information and statistics, as well as some interesting case studies that give insight into the diverse range of tech businesses that make up the UK's tech sector.   To read the report and access more of Beauhurst's data, become an SBREC member for free and visit our Centre!   https://lnkd.in/eTHTCEBT #marketresearch #smallbusinesssupport
