Technology Startups
Startup map I Events I Funding guide I Blog
Welcome to the technology startup page for Electronics Weekly.
Here you can find articles on technology startups in the UK, an interactive map showing the location and business sector of each startup and links to useful websites for the technology entrepreneur.
The UK has long been viewed as a country rich in innovation and technology development but poor in the skills that allow us to capitalise on that asset. However, the truth is that there is a strong field of startup firms in the UK in the electronics sector and the resources on this page will hopefully point out that in fact this community of businesses is thriving, growing and breaking technology barriers.
Startup map
There are 128 firms featured on the map. The first version of the map was created in 1999 and featured just 32 companies. The map had been redrawn periodically and the version created in 2000 had 49 firms, in 2002 61 and in 2003 there were 110 firms featured.
The latest version of the map was created specifically for the web and contains clickable information about firms and sectors that the startup firms fall into. Many firms have passed through the map and have been taken off it for a variety of reasons. A list of these firms – the startup map alumni - is also available to view.
Elsewhere on the Internet, a map from Cambridge Investment Research shows the area around Cambridge and the firms based there. It includes electronics and optronics firms as well as other technology sectors.
Blog
Our blog covers start-up matters, funding and university spin-outs. It is also the home of our contributed Valley View column, which is written by Silicon Valley-based Richard Irving, venture capital partner at Pond Venture Partners.
Events
Visit the events page for conferences, seminars and exhibitions worldwide for the technology venture capital and startup community.
Finding startup funding
There is a wide range of funding routes for the technology entrepreneur aimed at every stage of a technology startup business. Here we present a guide to what grants are available for the early stage company and a taste of the wide range of venture capital firms that are out there. Also included is an overview guide to research funding available through the UK's Research Councils.
