Today we are delighted to welcome the new additions to our programme for late-stage tech companies. The prestigious Future Fifty.
The longest-running and most successful accelerator programme for late-stage tech companies in Europe, Future Fifty brings together the UK’s most successful tech companies. It enables them to build a powerful network, and allows them to problem-solve with peers.
Gerard Grech, Chief Executive, Tech Nation commented: “Future Fifty is one of the top scaling programmes in Europe, supporting companies at a critical stage of growth. I’m thrilled to be working with the very businesses that are driving this substantial growth and jobs in the UK economy through innovation. The companies joining Future Fifty 8.0 have already raised over £1.4bn and employ nearly 6,000 people – our ambitions for what they can achieve are as big as those of the entrepreneurs themselves.”
Drawing help and advice from the wider tech community, the programme supports the cohort to achieve their global ambitions, create jobs and opportunities across the UK, and inspiring the next generation of tech entrepreneurs, founders and businesses.
Hazel Moore, Chairman and Co-founder, FirstCapital commented: “The process for selecting the Future Fifty companies is rigorous and the competition is tough. Congratulations to this new cohort, which represents a group of outstanding digital businesses in the UK that have the potential to be globally successful leaders in their field.”
The star-studded Future Fifty Alumni includes tech companies, such as Deliveroo, Funding Circle, Skyscanner and Partnerize.
As we welcome the new additions to the Future Fifty, we look forward to helping them with growth challenges such as finding top talent and scaling internationally.
