What’s really driving UK tech as we head into 2026?

AI is changing how we work, global investment is evolving, and the UK tech scene is full of opportunity. Host Ben Bilsland is joined by RSM’s own David Blacher and Georgie Bole to unpack the findings of RSM’s latest survey of UK tech companies, revealing how industry leaders are feeling about the future.

Discover why London continues to shine as Europe’s tech capital, and how the UK’s unique blend of innovation and resilience is attracting investment from both sides of the Atlantic. The conversation explores the evolving funding landscape, from private equity’s optimism to the government’s latest moves on R&D tax relief, and what it all means for startups and scale-ups alike.

But it’s not just about money. Ben, David, and Georgie tackle the talent crunch, the real-world impact of AI on jobs and the urgent need to keep the UK’s tech workforce inspired and engaged.
