One problem is that the finance industry in the UK sucks up a lot of the talent, and much of the rest goes into telecoms. We're pretty strong in both areas. Plus defence I suppose, as you say, so make that three although I'm not as familiar with that industry's tech sector. For a small to medium sized country like ours, even with a reasonable supply of tech talent, it doesn't leave a lot left over for other industries.

There may be a fair number of good former defence tech workers available to work in startups soon.
