London Tech Week: Capturing The Value of the Technological Revolution

📍 1 Triton Square, London NW1 3BF
In collaboration with Venture Café London and ARIA, the Tony Blair Institute is hosting an event to mark the launch of its new Innovation Programme, focused on a central challenge: technological disruption is inevitable, but prosperity is not. As advances in AI, robotics, quantum, and advanced manufacturing accelerate, the question is no longer whether change will happen, but who will capture its value.
The UK has world-class strengths in research, talent, and entrepreneurship, yet too often struggles to translate these into globally competitive industries. Whether the country is strengthened or hollowed out by this next wave of technological change will depend on its ability to build a full-spectrum innovation economy — one that not only generates ideas, but scales them into firms, industries, and national capability.
This event brings together investors, founders, corporates, policymakers, and researchers from across the UK’s innovation ecosystem. It will serve as a platform for cross-sector dialogue and a moment to activate the ecosystem, bringing together those shaping policy, capital, and technology to drive the UK’s next phase of growth.
