Head of U.K. Government Affairs, Spotify

Many thanks to the Labour Government, MPs and peers that met with the Spotify team last week! Following conference season and last weeks discussions, here’s three quick reflections on UK tech policy: 1. Competition enforcement is going to be crucial for the long term growth of the UK tech industry, including the next generation of home-grown companies. Inward investment is great but competitive markets will be the foundation on which a new generation of tech companies will grow and scale. 2. The UK is going to have to be smart, nimble and innovative to remain a leading player in AI - global competition is fierce. 3. Boosting creative education and skills will be the foundation for realising the long-term (and vast) potential of the UK’s Creative industries. And thanks to the brilliant Spotify team for leading the way Daniel Ek Dustee Jenkins April Boyd
