The Turing's sovereignty plan
Plus Matt Clifford joins Anthropic.
Good morning and happy Wednesday,
I'm following in the fingertips of my forebears by typing in a very sunny Fleet Street cafe.
Data sovereignty, agentic AI, the future of cloud infrastructure — these are the defining questions of UK tech policy and they're taking centre stage at Civo Navigate in London on Tuesday September 22nd.
The event is returning to Convene, Bishopsgate, and brings together 800+ tech leaders and builders. The speaker line-up spans politics and industry — Julia Lopez MP, Lord Drayson, NVIDIA's UK director, and engineers from Google, GitLab and Qualcomm.
Tickets are normally £600, but readers of The Morning Intelligence can attend for just £25 using the code MI25 at checkout.
