There are lots of tech companies (e.g. Fintech, games etc) however not much hard tech. Like the rest of Europe, we're completely reliant on the US/Asia for cutting edge chips and phones.

If you look at, for example, the UK entries in [1] you'll find many of them are doing loans, payments, insurance and blockchain stuff.

(Admittedly, that list is using a definition of 'startup' broad enough to include the UK's second-largest energy supply company)
