Better late than never
“Appearing in this Business Hub show is Kathie Neal, Dr Martin Clark, Kevin Coleman announcing his “Discovering Start-Ups” competition, Andrew Kennedy, Lisa Rogers (Star and co-presenters of TV’s Scrapheap Challenge) and Dr Fiona Fyfe of Hotmail announcing their “Time Saving Ideas” competition – We hope you enjoy the show as much as we did making it!”
Mapping the UK’s technology start-ups
“The Guardian” has just launched an initiative to map the UK’s young technology businesses – and is asking for help. The Guardian’s Technology blog wants you if you:
- are a company up to five years old
- have fewer than 100 people?
- have turnover/revenue/sales of less than £10m?
This isn’t a marketing exercise – Guardian Technology just wants to get a better idea of where and what technology start-ups there are around the UK. The aim is to try and create interactive maps using the data to show where the tech centres are.
