Coral Gables, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/03/2016 --Bloomberg recently reported that the UK government will be investing roughly $285,000,000 in funding to support the country's technology industry. Investors have long sought out opportunity in this sector generally for the wild swings, big breakouts, and overall volatility this emerging industry can have. The days of the dot com boom ring out as a shining example of how technology can turn certain investors into overnight millionaires. For the UK, their predominance as a tech hub following Brexit is a move to make the world know that our friends across the pond aren't playing around when it comes to bleeding edge innovation.
The government "is determined to encourage the existing environment for these cutting-edge technologies by unlocking and supporting further research and development in the U.K.," Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond said in the statement. "This extra funding will help further boost the U.K.'s leading role in this sector."
