The Labour government is aiming for economic growth, but this will only happen by boosting the UK’s regions and nations along with London and south-east England. 2025-10-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1893/37625 Title: For Europe to emulate Silicon Valley's tech success, it should change its startup funding model Author(s): Hruskova, Michaela; Scheidgen, Katharina Abstract: First paragraph: Tech startups will be enthused by the news that Silicon Valley venture capital (VC) veteran General Catalyst is on the verge of raising US$6 billion (£4.8 billion) for backing new companies. It comes hot on the heels of an announcement from Andreessen Horowitz, another major VC, of a new US$7.2 billion investment fund. These are among the largest fundraisings in years, coming at a time when the VC sector has been going through a lull, with worldwide total investments down from US$644 billion in 2021 to US$286 billion in 2023. 2024-04-30T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1893/37264 Title: Universities and social care depend on immigration. The UK government's plans could be an economic own goal Author(s): Montgomery, Tom Abstract: First paragraph: The recent launch of plans to reform the UK’s immigration system reflects the government’s effort to regain the initiative on this issue. But looking at the finer detail of migration to the UK shows restrictions introduced by the previous government, particularly around visas for social care workers and international students, have already led to fewer people arriving in the UK. 2025-05-14T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1893/34975 Title: Regulations can burden small businesses but our research shows they can also help them grow Author(s): Mallett, Oliver; Wapshott, Robert Abstract: First Paragraph: A couple of weeks before her short stint as prime minister ended, Liz Truss delivered on a pledge to tackle what some – including Truss – saw as red tape holding back “thousands of growing businesses” in the UK. The move focused on exempting small businesses from certain regulations to help stimulate growth. It involved expanding the government’s definition of “small business” to release “thousands of UK businesses” from reporting requirements and regulations. 2022-11-15T00:00:00Z
