Russ Shaw, Founder of London Tech Advocates and Global Tech Advocates, discusses London and the UK's place in the tech world and how it differs from Silicon Valley, the urgent need to support digital skills growth to protect the tech ecosystem and why the new government needs to be clear on its tech policy strategy. Shaw founded London Tech Advocates – a non-profit launched to champion and empower the burgeoning London tech industry in the early 2010s – and has since gone on to build a network of Global Tech Advocates, supporting tech hubs across the UK and internationally. Shaw also discusses his role in the UK's semiconductor strategy and why Labour needs to clarify its position on it.
As official podcast partner to Cambridge Tech Week 2024, we're delighted to run our first full episode dedicated to the event, starting with the recording of the panel at the Cambridge launch, and an interview with Russ Shaw from the London launch event.The Cambridge event really highlighted the desire to bring the outside in – to create a #SXSW for Cambridge and the tech space, where the objective is to bring the outside in. The panellists (Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, CEO, Nu Quantum, David Moore, CEO, Pragmatic, Pam Garside, Chair, Cambridge Angels, and Harriet Fear MBE) had an open discussion about innovation, funding, and challenges of growth, as well as sharing feedback on last year's event and their wishes for 2024.As one of the events ‘ambassadors', Russ Shaw, Founder of Tech London Advocates, talked about Cambridge's global reputation for Science and Innovation – “Cambridge punches enormously above its weight in terms of its size and scale”.And we also caught up with Douglas MacDonald, Partner who heads up the national tech sector at Mills & Reeve who are also one of the event sponsors (others include Rathbones, Cambridge Management Consulting, UK Telecoms Innovation Network UKTIN, HSBC and Cambridge Consultants).And of course, we caught up with the man himself, chair of the organising committee Chris Bruce, to find out which three words are on the top of his mind for 2024.

Claire Hanna, the Social Democratic and Labour Party MP for Belfast South says the UK's Brexit proposals are at 'the upper end of disruptive' action the government could have taken. She tells Bloomberg's Caroline Hepker and Stephen Carroll that Anglo-Irish relations are the lowest ebb that they've been in her political lifetime, due to tensions over Brexit. Also in the show, we speak to London Tech Week founder Russ Shaw about what government gets right and wrong about the sector, and how it can encourage more diversity and investment.

It's estimated that 65% of kids in school today will end up working a job that doesn't currently exist. So how do we develop talent for the next generation and those that are underserved in today's job market — in the most efficient and thorough way possible? The secret ingredient is in creating communities that upskill and train our workforce with relevant skill sets to meet the needs of the day. So how does one do this in a post-pandemic era? What is the secret to building virtual communities? Join us as we invite special guest Russ Shaw, Managing Director of London Tech Advocates and Global Tech Advocates, to discuss lessons learned from building and galvanizing a global community that is volunteer-powered and digitally equipping the workforce of tomorrow.
Today we have Russ Shaw, Founder, Global Tech Advocates & Tech London Advocates, and Stephen Nundy, Partner and CTO at Lakestar. Listen in for what qualities VCs look for in a Founder, what tech verticals they have their eye on right now and insight into the investment world. Stephen reveals his predictions for the future, explores the tech founder ecosystem in London compared to other countries and he shares his view on why internal motivation and dedication to the mission is a key early signal for a successful founder.
Today's technology start-ups thrive on fast delivery, implementing user feedback, and pivoting their approaches. However, testing assumptions, mediocre applications, and isolated solutions can end a project before it even gets off the ground. That's why they need an innovation-driven environment to truly thrive – a community of like-minded people. This community should be not only local, but also regional and global, as is Tech Emerging Europe Advocates, part of the Global Tech Advocates network that includes almost 20,000 start-up founders, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors and experts. Russ Shaw, the founder of Global Tech Advocates, London Tech Advocates and London Tech Week, speaks with Andrew Wrobel about why joining Tech Emerging Europe Advocates can help start-ups to connect with tech entrepreneurs and investors globally, and about the role of the London tech ecosystem going forward.
