🚀 What the AI Opportunities Action Plan Means for Startups “I’m determined the UK becomes the best place to start and scale an AI business. That will be the centrepiece of our industrial strategy. There’s never been a better moment for entrepreneurs with big ideas to grow a small company fast.” - @Keir_Starmer I was in the room this morning to hear those words from the Prime Minister as the Government launched the AI Opportunities Action Plan authored by Matt Clifford. It's a great piece of work. The stakes couldn’t be higher and for this Action Plan to truly succeed, and we need the Government to implement and deliver this plan in full. Here’s why this matters for startups: 🔑 Access to World-Class Infrastructure 📊 Unlocking High-Value Data 🎓 Talent to Power Innovation And last but definitely not least… @matthewclifford himself will help create a new unit - UK Sovereign AI - housed between No. 10 and DSIT with a clear mandate of maximising the UK’s stake in frontier AI and clearing the way for great British AI companies. One genuinely welcome thing I took away from this morning is that the PM understood the scale of the challenge. Of course, getting it and then delivering on what’s required is not the same thing. So that’s what we’ll be working on at the @StartupCltn. If you have asks, thoughts on the plan today or anything else - we’ll be there to put startup views across. Do reach out.
