15 UK tech scaleups join Tech Nation’s US Growth Workshop 4.0

This week our fourth cohort of UK tech scaleups will be joining the Tech Nation US Growth Workshop.

International expansion has been identified as one of the largest scaling challenges by UK scaleups, and the US is one of the top priority markets within the UK’s tech ecosystem.

All scaleups selected for the workshop have the resource and commitment to expand into the US within the next 12 months, and this workshop provides the insight, expertise and connections needed to accelerate their growth and success into the market.

The cohort spans across several tech sectors and industries including HealthTech, LegalTech and SaaS, with cutting-edge IoT and AI applications.

The two day workshop, sponsored by Fragomen, Foothold America, RSM UK and Wilson Sonsini is delivered by entrepreneurs and investors who have already scaled successfully into the market. The workshop includes educational and practical advice on the US ecosystem, go-to-market strategies, operational considerations, talent and recruitment, business development and fundraising.
