ustwo™ hosted the inaugural meeting of UKTI’s Tech City team at its London studio. Earlier in the day ustwo™ participated in a breakfast panel at Tech Hub in Shoreditch with Minister for Trade & Investment Lord Green and leaders in the UK tech scene.

Lord Green said: “It was great to meet with budding entrepreneurs like digital design studio ustwo™, as well as large-scale technology incubators around Old Street and Shoreditch today.”
