INVESTING IN LONDON’S
SUSTAINABLE TECH INNOVATORS
“London’s tech sector is the envy of cities around the world.
It makes a massive contribution to our economy and plays a crucial role in London’s
international reputation as a hub for innovation. I’m proud to launch my TechInvest events,

These events will showcase the fantastic creativity of these companies and will enable the

them access much-needed investment they can realise their potential to grow and develop.”
