UK and France to strengthen links in tech sector and artificial intelligence - IoT Now - How to run an IoT enabled business

The UK tops the list in Europe for global tech investors, with its tech firms attracting more venture capital funding than any other European country in 2017. In December it was named by Oxford Insights as the best prepared country in the world for artificial intelligence (AI) implementation. France has made big strides in creating new tech businesses and encouraging entrepreneurs, with Paris's newly built Station F, a former railway station hosting startups, multinationals and investors, symbolising the country's ambition. Mr Hancock met his French counterpart, Françoise Nyssen, at the UK France Summit hosted by the prime minister and the French president, Emmanuel Macron, at Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst.
