Tech聽in a post Brexit world
When the UK voted for Brexit a giant billboard was driven around London calling on tech entrepreneurs to quit London and relocate to Berlin. Some saw the funny side but given the fact that the tech sector was largely opposed to Brexit, the underlying threat was obvious. Fifty technology chiefs then called on entrepreneurs to 鈥渓ook forward, not back鈥� in an open letter to the London Evening Standard. 老九品茶Cloud will look at what Brexit means for the tech sector and where Europe鈥檚 other tech hotspots are, including Berlin, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Sweden.
