Ruby On Royals The Digital Duke And The #TechBritannia Startups

020e35f477b76daeec56ae1d4a6554f7_viewLast night London's technology startup community - entrepreneurs and startups were invited to Buckingham Palace, the official home of Queen Elizabeth the Second. To say this was an unusual event wold be a significant understatement. But it is better understood in the context of the incredible outreach the UK government has made to technology entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the last 18 months. There is more context: at EG8 recently, I happen to know that the French Government had to scramble to find French startups to at attend. They simply didn't know who they were - despite a thriving scene covered by my colleagues at TechCrunch France. By contrast, Her Majesty's government managed to come up with a guest list which pretty much mapped to the startup ecosystem in London. No small achievement.
