London Tech Week 2025 has launched with a focus on enhancing the UK's AI capabilities, supported by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's announcement of a £1 billion investment. The funding aims to significantly increase high-performance computing capacity and establish the UK as an AI producer. In recognition of the skills gap, Starmer unveiled a plan to train 7.5 million workers in AI by 2030 and introduced the Tech First training programme, targeting one million young people in tech subjects, alongside new scholarships for postgraduate researchers. A partnership with Nvidia highlights industry collaboration in this initiative.
Starmer emphasized the need for AI skills development, stating that one of the biggest barriers to the UK's AI ambitions is the lack of an adequately skilled workforce.
The government aims to train 7.5 million workers in AI by 2030 through partnerships with leading tech companies, highlighting the urgency of fostering homegrown talent.
