After over ten years in operation, Tech Nation, the UK’s government-sanctioned ecosystem builder for UK tech startups and growth tech companies is to cease operations after losing its grant funding to a programme run by Barclays Bank Eagle Labs.

The team behind the non-profit, which derived the bulk of its funding from the UK government, plans now to look for new backers and a new direction, after closing its doors on 31st March 2023. Tech Nation’s visa programme will continue in the immediate term.
