The Global Entrepreneur Programme helps to de-risk your investment.
Investors
The United Kingdom business, technology and scientific communities have been directly involved in supporting the discovery and incubation of some of the world’s most significant innovations.
From the discovery of penicillin and DNA to Tim Berners-Lee's pioneering work with the world-wide-web, as well as being among the first to commercially deploy next generation wireless, mobile, and broadband.
The UK has developed a unique and formidable technology ecosystem and springboard, which in turn helps reduce risk in early stage ventures.
Bottled innovation
UK Trade & Investment’s Global Entrepreneur Programme is unique worldwide, in that the UK Government has recruited some of the UK's most experienced entrepreneurs, technologists and financiers to help discover and incubate technologies of exceptional potential.
We’ve been operating since 2003 and have had significant success creating truly global companies through our extensive technical, academic, business and financial networks.
Unique dealflow
Our unique team operates on a global basis, filtering and sourcing the world’s most exceptional dealflow that might never be seen by venture capital or early-stage investment.
The team's objective is to directly discover, attract, support, and significantly de-risk these technologies and innovations by helping create sustainable global businesses from a UK HQ.
Co-investment opportunities
The GEP is making its dealflow available to a wider investor community, via the Technology Investment Programme and by introducing syndication and co-investment opportunities to suitably qualified investors and venture capitalists.
To find out more and take advantage of these opportunities please contact the GEP team and provide some information about your organisation and investment focus.
