For the UK to become a science and tech superpower, it is vital that we are able to attract and retain top talent from across the globe. The race to attract the brightest and best, mobile and desirable digital talent is fierce, with many countries seeking to improve their attractiveness to this highly prized cohort.
As well as nurturing homegrown talent and harnessing the unique skills base from our world leading universities, we are also attracting the best talent from abroad via our immigration system, which includes the Global Talent, Skilled Worker and High Potential Individual routes which all provide a generous catering for the digital sector.
