UK tech ecosystem third in world to reach $1trn valuation

The UK’s technology ecosystem now has a valuation of $1trn according to Dealroom data analysed by the UK’s Digital Economy Council.

In Brief: 

The UK is now the third country in the world to reach this valuation, after the US and China. 

The technology industry in the UK is valued at more than twice that of Germany. 

These new figures are being announced by Digital Minister Chris Philp at the West Midlands Tech Review in Birmingham.

What does this mean?
