After a decade transforming UK tech, Tech Nation has been acquired by Founders Forum Group

After a decade as a government-backed organisation serving the UK scaleup tech ecosystem, we are today announcing that Tech Nation has been acquired by Founders Forum Group (FF Group), a global community and group of businesses supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of their journeys.

The transfer will see FF Group continue to execute against Tech Nation’s mission to empower tech entrepreneurs, scale innovative startups, and provide a united platform for UK tech founders. 

FF Group will relaunch a number of Tech Nation programmes and reports on the UK tech sector as part of its existing portfolio of events and services tailored to entrepreneurs, continuing to build on the organisation’s activities to date.

Tech Nation, under the FF Group umbrella, will continue to process the Global Talent Visa for the Home Office and applicants can continue to apply as normal with applications in process unaffected, while the Home Office identifies a ​​new endorsing body to take over from Tech Nation.
