Interesting article on Techcrunch Europe about the UK Government's plans for post-Olympic London.
http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/11/04/uk-government-plans-east-london-tech-cluster-startup-visa-review-of-ip-law-200-million-in-finance-what/ As well as proposing £200 million in development costs, they are also looking at a £200 million investment fund along with changing their visa and IP laws. While history hasn't been kind to these schemes it's at least encouraging the Brits are having a crack, I can't imagine an Australian PM or Premier of either side making announcement for a fraction of this. I was happy with the $2 million the NSW Government put up for Digital Sydney, so I guess small things keep us happy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
