Hard to Compute: Why Startups Need More Power

The Compute Roadmap published earlier this year is hugely ambitious. From AI Growth Zones to a 20x expansion of public compute capacity, it has the power to be transformative – nurturing and bolstering a flourishing AI ecosystem.

Government will not be able to execute on this roadmap alone. It will take close partnership with industry, and not just the usual suspects.

We are used to talking about startups as consumers of compute, and of course they are, more so now than ever before. However, startups can also support the Government to bring this roadmap to life. British founders are solving the very bottlenecks that threaten to derail our compute ambitions. Our national mission should be to support them and create a pro-innovation environment for them to thrive within.

That is why today we are publishing our new report, Hard to Compute: Why Startups Need More Power.

The report investigates and explores both sides of the coin. How we can ensure startups can get access to the compute they need to scale and how they can also support the build out of the very infrastructure ecosystem itself.
