A £1 million government programme is launching in an attempt to help tech startups and scaleups thrive outside London, with new projects set to boost founders and ecosystems across the UK.

The Regional Tech Booster initiative, delivered in partnership with UK Tech Cluster Group, will fund 12 local projects offering early-stage businesses targeted training, expert mentoring, networking opportunities and support to scale.

Announced in July with the goal of making sure the benefits of the UK’s tech sector are felt nationwide, the projects span every corner of the UK.

The programme will run pilots through 2026, each designed to deliver measurable local impact by supporting at least 30 tech businesses over six months.
