From Aberdeen to Brighton: Investing in the UK’s digital future

More investment in the UK’s broadband infrastructure is critical to ensure the UK’s future success in technology in a post-Brexit world.

With Brexit on the horizon,  it is an unfortunate truth that there remains little certainty over what our future relationship with Brussels will look like. Beyond the political rhetoric, Britain must be known as an attractive destination for both entrepreneurs and investors to call home – digital infrastructure is a vital element of the modern economy and could come to define our global standing as a leading exporter of services.

However, we have seen startling signs that Britain is not keeping up. A study released in July 2018 revealed that the UK has fallen in the international broadband speed rankings, coming in behind Germany, France and more than two-thirds of the EU.
