Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has announced a new program of investment days for London startups, as he tries to maintain the U.K.’s position as a European hub for young tech companies.
The U.K. national trade body for early stage companies will help run 20 investment days in London over the next four years, providing coaching and connections to potential investors. A total of $740,000 in support will be made available -- half to underwrite the cost of running the program, half in the form of consultation services from the U.K. Business Angels Association.
