Global Tech Connect
About us
​
Global Tech Connect is the alliance of UK-based bilateral startup programmes
​
Each supports companies from their respective national ecosystem scale to the UK
By working together we deliver extra value to the startups across this partner network
Partner Organisations
Our partners are Advantage Austria; Bulgarian Expansion Bridge, the British Croatian Chamber of Commerce; Business Finland; La French Tech; de:hub (Germany); UK Israel Tech Hub; TechItalia; UK/Romania Business; Innosuisse, and Hackquarters by Tenity (Turkey).
Participation is open to other international programmes that demonstrate an ability to support startups from their home countries, and which share the aims and values of Global Tech Connect.
What we do
Through themed bootcamps we provide startups with expert insight into a sector and its operation in the UK and offer corporate, investor and ecosystem introductions to smooth market entry and boost their chances of success.
​
With eight Bootcamps behind us and almost 150 alumni across 17 countries in our network, Global Tech Connect has quietly become one of the UK’s leading specialist market entry initiatives – acquisitions have totalled over $1bn and in 2025 alone these startups have raised more than $110m.
​
Programmes are provided free of charge to startups and we take no equity.
