Tech Nation has revealed the 25 high-growth scaleups joining its flagship Future Fifty programme, a UK initiative for late-stage tech ventures.
The companies span sectors including AI, aerospace, HealthTech and ClimateTech.
Among them are Nory, an AI-powered restaurant management system; Raylo, a pioneer of consumer and business tech leasing; and BioOrbit, which is developing at the intersection of SpaceTech and BioTech.
Collectively, the new cohort has raised more than £1.4bn and employs over 2,100 people.
Almost all (92%) are expanding internationally, while 28% are based outside London, with Cambridge, Glasgow and Edinburgh highlighted as growing hubs.
Future Fifty alumni include almost a third of the UK’s unicorns, such as Revolut and Wise.
Since being relaunched by Founders Forum Group in March 2024, the programme has supported 75 companies, running international missions to Singapore, New York and Dubai to connect founders with investors, CEOs and policymakers.
Tech Nation is also publishing its Future Fifty Report 2025, profiling the cohort and sharing insights from founders alongside highlights from the past 12 months.
The programme is backed by corporate partners including HSBC Innovation Banking, Emerald Technology, Evelyn Partners, S&W and EY.
“The latest Future Fifty cohort is a testament to the UK’s dynamic tech ecosystem, with fast-paced scaleups that are achieving remarkable growth and poised to address some of the most pressing global challenges,” said Carolyn Dawson OBE, CEO of Founders Forum Group.
“By providing these founders with the vital resources, networks, and global exposure necessary to accelerate their growth and amplify their impact, the Future Fifty programme supports their ambitions while reinforcing the UK’s position as a leader in global technology and entrepreneurship.”
Johnny Mayo, Future Fifty lead at Tech Nation, added: “This cohort showcases the diverse and high-impact ventures emerging from the UK’s thriving tech scene.
“We are committed to equipping these ambitious founders with the tools and networks needed to scale their businesses and make a significant impact on the global stage.”
