UK Technology Secretary Liz Kendall says the Labour government will intensify efforts to direct more institutional capital into British technology firms, with a focus on artificial intelligence startups. Speaking during London Tech Week in an interview with Bloomberg TV, Kendall said the government plans to unlock investment by changing the legal and regulatory framework governing how UK pension funds are managed. She indicated that proposed reforms are intended to make it easier for pension funds to invest in UK-based companies rather than limiting allocations through existing rules or constraints. Kendall also said the government will provide additional support for the country’s AI sector, tying the broader investment push to the development of domestic AI capabilities. The reporting across outlets centers on her pledge to strengthen mechanisms for channeling funds into UK tech, specifically through pension-fund-related legal reform. She suggests momentum will follow soon, describing the next steps as pending movement on the reforms. The announcements reflect an approach that combines targeted sector backing with changes to investment pathways for institutional investors.
