Susie Harris, director of business development at Parkwalk Advisors, the fund management business of IP Group PLC (LSE:IPO), talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how UK government policy changes are set to improve the funding landscape for deep tech companies and university spinouts. Harris welcomed the decision, announced in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget statement, to double the limits for knowledge-intensive companies from £20 million to £40 million, describing it as a “pretty significant change” that will allow companies to scale further and remain rooted in the UK. She explained that deep tech businesses often require funding “well in excess of £20 million” just to reach revenue generation, and that the previous cap had created a funding gap between early-stage and scale-up investment. Harris highlighted that the move should help prevent UK-born innovations from being acquired too early: “The UK has become a bit of an incubator economy… many of those [companies are] acquired before the businesses really have an opportunity to scale up within the UK.” Harris also discussed the role of the British Business Bank, UK Research and Innovation, the British Growth Partnership, and the National Wealth Fund in catalysing investment across the growth curve. These bodies, she said, could work together to turn the UK from an incubator economy into a scale-up economy. She added that later-stage institutional capital, particularly from pension funds, would now be better positioned to support the global growth of domestic tech companies. “Some pretty significant capital is required at those later stages to enable deep tech companies to establish themselves as global businesses,” Harris noted. Looking ahead, Harris said Parkwalk Advisors and IP Group see “an extraordinary opportunity for these businesses to now be able to scale and succeed” with the added support of private and public capital at every stage.

Dr. Brian Day, orthopedic surgeon, author, and healthcare reform advocate, discusses reports that the Alberta government will soon introduce legislation that would enable physicians to practice in both public and private systems simultaneously. He argues that this type of reform is needed because Canada's single-payer monopoly creates deliberate rationing, produces adverse health outcomes, and drives doctors abroad. He contends that hybrid healthcare models deliver better outcomes at lower costs, and that allowing private insurance and dual practice would increase physician supply while improving timely access to care for all income levels.

Read the transcript Related resources Employment Rights Bill: 10 key policies employers need to revamp On your radar: Employment Rights Bill updates and HR mythbusting Podcast: Employment Rights Bill - where we are now, what to expect next Webinar: Getting probationary periods right as Employment Rights Bill changes loom Key takeaways Phased rollout: Changes will begin two months after Royal Assent, with major reforms in April and October 2026, and final measures in 2027. Union ballots: Unions will be able to organise industrial action ballots more easily, with less information required and a reduced notice period (from 14 to 10 days). The rule requiring 50% turnout is still being debated. Union recognition: From April 2026, unions face lower hurdles for official recognition, including reduced membership and turnout thresholds. Workplace access: Starting in October 2026, unions will gain rights to access workplaces (physically and digitally), with strict timelines for employer responses and agreements. Informing staff: Employers must regularly inform employees of their right to join a union - new starters should get written statements, and existing staff receive annual reminders. Protections for union activity: Employees and union reps will be protected from penalties (other than pay deductions) for participating in official industrial action. Enforcement and consultations: Government consultations on these reforms are open until December 2025; breaches of access agreements may result in substantial fines (£75,000 per breach). Employer impact: All employers should update policies and prepare for shorter timelines, new communication duties and increased union engagement.
