The UK tech sector is now valued at $1trillion - a landmark milestone that has only been reached by the US and China. To put that into perspective, that's more than double the value of Germany's, and almost 5 times larger than France.
The importance of the tech sector - and therefore, the importance of having dialogue and conversation between Govt and the sector is why Prasanna Kannan and I set up CFTech.
We were delighted that Kwasi Kwarteng, senior member of Liz's leadership team - and Secretary of State for BEIS spoke at a CFTech x Coadec (The Coalition for a Digital Economy) event last week to talk about Liz Truss ' vision for the tech sector.
It was a privilege to introduce Kwasi, to talk about the importance of the tech sector, and to hear his commitment both to ensuring the UK remains a great place for tech, and his commitment to working with CFTech in any future position he holds.
