LumeJet is to visit 10 Downing Street today (31 July) having been selected as one of the most promising digital companies in the UK. At what is called the Pitch 10 event, it will showcase its inkless printing technology alongside another nine businesses chosen by an independent panel of advisors representing Britain’s digital sector.
CEO Paul Anson said: “It is fantastic to be selected as part of a group of fast growing and successful British digital technology companies. The growing success of high tech manufacturing in the UK is a testament to a variety of supportive government schemes such as TSB Smart Awards for R&D funding and the Enterprise Investment Scheme that encourages angel investment.
He continued: “It is worth noting that LumeJet is one of only two hardware producing companies out of the group, something of a reflection on how hard it is to finance hardware start-up businesses. We believe our company is a great showcase for what can be achieved with supportive investors with a passion for growing UK high-tech manufacturing - generating deep and defensible, IP rich technology for the global market.”
