Join the British Business Bank and techUK for a member-only roundtable.
Please note, this event is invite-only. Attendee details may be shared with contacts at the British Business Bank.
This session brings together key stakeholders from across the Digital and Tech sector to inform the BBB investment thesis in alignment with the British Business Bank Industrial Strategy Growth Capital.
techUK members and the British Business Bank will explore the updated priorities and identify gaps where investment could play an important role to drive scale.
This follows the various announcements in the UK Government's Industrial Strategy and Digital and Technologies Sector Plan outlining the bolstered role of the British Business Bank to support access to finance for SMEs and scale-ups.
At the Spending Review, the UK Government announced the Bank’s total financial capacity would rise to £25.6 billion. Through this, the British Business Bank will commit an additional £4 billion of capital to support investment and growth in the IS-8. This investment will seek to crowd in £12 billion of private capital.
