No chip to rule them all
Callosum's Dan Akarca on building UK clout.
Hello from a sweaty Liverpool Street station.
There's loads happening today, but our main piece — an interview with the co-founder of one of Britain's best-funded startups — looks at the excitement around his company building a platform which could level the playing field between chip companies, and give the UK some much-needed strategic cards.
Since launch, paid subscribers to The Morning Intelligence have got exclusive intel on:
- The break-up of DSIT
- Andy Burnham's tech strategy
- Government announcements at London Tech Week
- The revamp of the Tony Blair Institute
There is a lot more to come and the AI agenda is moving fast this month.
If you'd like to join them, I'm offering annual individual membership for £200 — a £40 discount — for anyone who subscribes by September 30th. 🙏
