英国发布2021年度科技报告！英国科技独角兽公司数量急增，欧洲第一！
根据 Tech Nation Report 2021，伦敦于2020年吸引了87亿英镑的VC科技创投资金，而英国各科技公司在2020年一共吸引到了至少110亿英镑的投资，排名全球第三。过去十年的成功有赖于英国的政策前瞻性，持续的投资和多元化，加上人才汇聚。
伦敦的 “科技独角兽” 公司（市值已突破10亿英镑的初创科技企业）在2020年达到了55家，其中6间公司达到了这一里程碑 - Octopus Energy，Arrival，Cazoo，infobip，Gousto 和 Hopin。
在2021年头几个月，已经有5间位于伦敦的新科技独角兽公司创立，分别有 Blockchain，PPRO，Touchlight Genetics，Starling Bank 和 Zego。
虽然2020年一直笼罩在疫情和脱欧的阴影之下，但英国科技行业逆流而上，交出了一份亮眼的成绩表，并进一步巩固了其作为欧洲第一科技中心的地位。展望未来，发展以 “人工智能” 为基础的深度技术尤其关键，并加速再 “研发方面” 的投资以促进英国的新兴深度技术（Deep Tech），从而确保英国的全球竞争力。
Capital’s unicorn count soaring as tech firms raise billions for London IPOs, major Tech Nation report finds
The capital saw a total of £8.7 billion of tech VC investment in the year, according to the annual Tech Nation Report 2021
Boris Johnson has said that he is "immensely proud to lead a government that is so comprehensively committed” to supporting the tech sector, as a major new report highlighted the soaring levels of capital tech firms are raising for London IPOs.
Tech Nation, a growth platform for tech companies and leaders that has seen start-ups including Monzo through from very early stage, released its annual report on the state of the sector on Tuesday.
The report found tech firms raised twice as much capital for London listings in 2020 as they did in 2018, and concluded that this signals "the UK’s attractiveness for tech companies and the continued health of the UK late-stage tech ecosystem".
The Government is hoping tech floats will help drive Britain’s recovery. The Chancellor has endorsed recommendations in Lord Hill's new Listing Review for a relaxation on the UK's stringent stock market rules that are seen as driving technology companies to float in the US, Asia or Amsterdam.
Deliveroo just selected London for a stock market flotation expected to value the company at more than $7 billion, with cybersecurity firm Darktrace expected to announce its own multi-billion pound London IPO. Consumer internet firms executing listings this spring include Trustpilot, whose IPO is expected to value the company at around £1 billion, and follow those of online card retailer Moonpig and The Hut Group.
