Vandaag begint de London Tech Week, waarbij premier Rishi Sunak als een van de eerste zijn praatje mag houden. Sunak vindt dat Groot-Brittannië sneller moet handelen om een ‌‌techhoofdstad te blijven, en wil de aanwezige techleiders aansporen om de kansen en uitdagingen van kunstmatige intelligentie te grijpen. Zijn visie komt niet geheel als een verrassing, tijdens zijn ontmoeting vorige week met de Amerikaanse president Joe Biden werd het onderwerp Artificial Intelligence ook uitgebreid besproken. Groot- Brittannië voelt de hete adem van de EU en Amerika in zijn nek en wil natuurlijk niet achterblijven - of nog erger, zijn positie verliezen. Sunak wil dat Groot-Brittannië een grotere rol krijgt in het AI-debat en koestert de hoop een wereldwijde waakhond in Londen op te richten, iets wat hij vorige week met de Amerikaanse president Joe Biden besprak tijdens zijn bezoek aan het Witte Huis. "We moeten handelen - en snel handelen. Niet alleen als we onze positie als een van 's werelds technische hoofdsteden willen behouden, maar vooral ook al we dit het beste land willen maken voor technologiebedrijven om te beginnen, te groeien en te investeren", zo zullen over een paar uur de woorden van Sunak luiden, zo blijkt uit uittreksels die door zijn kantoor zijn vrijgegeven.Verder in deze Tech Update: Amazon en Apple moeten verantwoording afleggen naar aanleiding van een aanklacht die tegen de twee is ingediend, zo oordeelde een federale rechter uit het Amerikaanse Seattle. De techbedrijven worden aangeklaagd vanwege het kunstmatig opdrijven van de prijzen van iPhones en iPads op het platform van Amazon. Amazon en Apple werden in november vorig jaar al aangeklaagd door consumenten uit de Verenigde Staten die na januari 2019 een iPhone of iPad kochten op Amazon. Want wat blijkt, Apple en Amazon hadden onderling afgesproken om het aantal externe Apple-verkopers op Amazon flink in te perken. In 2018 zouden er nog 600 Apple-resellers op het platform actief zijn, een jaar later verdwenen ze bijna allemaal van de website van Amazon. - En, niet geheel verrassend, vervolgens zouden de prijzen van Apple-producten met meer dan 10 procent zijn gestegen. Apple zou met Amazon hebben afgesproken om e korting te geven op zijn producten als Amazon het aantal externe Apple-verkopers op het platform zou verminderen. Volgens Apple is het aantal resellers beperkt om namaakproducten op het platform te verminderen. Daarnaast zeggen zij dat het om een 'alledaagse overeenkomst' gaat. Maar dat is uiteindelijk aan de rechter om te bepalen, die vorige week nog de poging van de techbedrijven verwierp om de aanklacht te laten vallen en dus gaat de rechtzaak gewoon door. Volgens de advocaat van de eisers is het oordeel van de rechter om de zaak door te zetten 'een grote overwinning voor de Apple-consumenten'. Zondag vond de jaarlijkse Xbox Games Showcase in Los Angeles plaats, waarbij zoals gebruikelijk een aantal nieuwe Microsoft-games voor Xbox en pc werden geïntroduceerd. Daarover hoor je binnenkort meer over in de BNR- podcast All in the Game. Naast de nieuwe games, was er nog meer nieuws van het hoofd van de videogames, Phil Spencer, maar dan over wat er niet komt, namelijk een grote upgrade van zijn Xbox-spelcomputer. Wel zei het bedrijf te komen met een nieuwe versie aan van zijn huidige Xbox Series S met een verbeterde opslag, daar bleek veel vraag naar. Volgens Microsoft bleek uit feedback dat er naar een grote upgrade simpelweg weinig vraag was en zijn ze zeer content met de huidige hardware die ze hebben.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tessa Clarke, Co-founder and CEO of OLIO on the size of the food waste crisis:“If it were a country, food waste would be the third largest source of greenhouse gas emission after the USA and China, and that's because a landmass larger than China is used every single year to grow food that is never eaten.”OLIO connects neighbours with each other and with local businesses so surplus food can be shared, not thrown away. This could be food nearing its sell-by date in local stores, spare home-grown vegetables, bread from your baker, or the groceries in your fridge when you go away. For your convenience, OLIO can also be used for non-food household items too.

Startup Genome, the world-leading innovation policy advisory and research firm, and the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) on Tuesday launched the 2022 Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) at London Tech Week, introduced by JF Gauthier, Founder and CEO of Startup Genome. In its 10th year, the GSER is the world's most comprehensive, data-driven research on startups with 280+ entrepreneurial innovation ecosystems, rankings of the leading 140 ecosystems, and 3 million startups analysed. Key highlights from #GSER2022 on the global startup situation Since 2012, global average Series A rounds have tripled to more than $18 million. Since the pandemic, tech companies grew 2.3 times more than their non-tech counterparts. A record 540 companies achieved unicorn status in 2021, up from 150 in 2020, with 113 ecosystems producing at least one $1 billion+ behemoth. Nineteen ecosystems — including Brisbane, Luxembourg, Santiago-Valparaiso, and Ho Chi Minh City — achieved their first unicorns in 2021. North America continues to dominate the Global Rankings, with 47% of the top 30 ecosystems. Asia comes in second with 30%. In North America, exits over $50 million made up a total of $698 billion in 2021. In Asia, they made up $531 billion. Seoul entered the global top 10 ecosystems for the first time. Helsinki has risen more than 20 places from last year to #35, Detroit moved up 13 places to #40 and Oslo moved up 16 places to #58. Japan has seen significant growth, with a 52.3% increase in Tokyo's startup ecosystem value (from $40.7 billion in 2020 to $62 billion in 2021) and Kyoto, now the country's second-largest such ecosystem, experiencing an 11% growth within the last year ($424 million in 2020 to $471 million in 2021). The 2022 GSER found that around 95% of the UAE's firms are SMEs or startups, and they account for more than 40% of the country's GDP. Additionally, the city of Sharjah, home of MENA's fastest-growing technopark, saw its startup ecosystem more than double in value (from less than $100 million in 2020 to $208 million in 2021) despite having early stage funding numbers below the global average. Also in MENA, Cairo has seen a 156% increase in total VC funding round dollar amount from 2020 to 2021, and from 2017 to 2021, the overall number of VC funding rounds in the ecosystem increased by 60%. Brazil experienced exponential growth both overall and in its largest city. São Paulo saw an increase in early-stage funding from $902 million in 2020 to $1.5 billion in 2021, and an overall increased ecosystem value by 122% ($1.5 billion in 2020 to $108 billion in 2021). Overall, the country reported $6.4 billion in venture funding from January to October 2021, tripling the amount raised in all of 2019. “This 10th-anniversary edition of the Global Startup Ecosystem Report reflects on how ecosystems have evolved since 2012,” shares JF Gauthier, Founder & CEO of Startup Genome. “As the first, and still the only data-driven primary research on startup and ecosystem success factors, innovators and policy leaders depend on our objective data and specialist insights. We look forward to providing further advisory economic and employment contributions as Startup Genome remains a key advisor for accelerating entrepreneurial performance and growth.” The #GSER2022 ranks startup ecosystems on seven Success Factors, including performance and talent. The same five ecosystems remain at the top of the ranking as in 2020 and 2021, but Beijing has dropped one place, with Boston taking its former place at #4. Silicon Valley is #1, followed by New York City and London tied at #2, Boston at #4, and Beijing at #5. “This research reveals what it takes for cities to compete in the race to the top as destinations for startup talent and investment. The GSER is both a guide to innovation performance and a cue to leaders to grow their local innovation ecosystems with evidence-based strategies, not gut,” said Jonathan Ortmans, Founder and President...
