About Telecoms Commercialisation and Economics Conference: Investment Insights Strand

UKTIN

Explore the landscape for investment and the tech trends shaping the future of telecoms. UKTIN is the innovation network for the telecoms sector in the UK. Earlier in 2024, alongside Bristol Innovations and PitchBook, it launched a first-of-its-kind Telecoms Investment Report, which took a deep dive into the telecoms investment landscape. It revealed that since 2020, well over £1.4bn in venture capital had been invested in the UK telecoms sector. Despite global venture market fluctuation, deal flow has been resilient in this lessor-understood market.

As an active tech investor, perhaps you haven’t considered telecoms as a sector of interest? Come along and find out more about the opportunity it presents, the diverse range of technologies (including quantum, AI, photonics and space) which are feeding the sector, and hear from other investors who are actively engaging. If you’re a deep tech start-up with potential applications in telecoms, this event will give you the intel and contacts to start planning your investment strategy.
