Car Services
by 2021
A partnership between
Addison Lee, a private hire
firm, and autonomous vehicle
software company Oxbotica
may bring self-driving cars to
London's streets in the next
three years. Addison Lee's fleet
of cabs may soon be driving
themselves, once Oxbotica is
done mapping the more than
250,000 miles of roads.

Tech at the London
Tourism Summit
At World Travel Market 2018 in
London, one of the world's largest tourism tradeshows, technology's role in tourism was
discussed at length during the
UNWTO/WTM Ministers Summit,
a panel composed of leaders
from the private sector alongside ministers. Major themes in
the discussion was the need for
expanded public-private partnerships, and the desire for less
regulatory red tape.

LONDON NAMED A LEADING
HUB FOR STARTUPS
Intelligence firm Quid named London one of the
leading hubs for tech startups in its recently
released Innovation Mapping Report, released in
November. The report shows that London is at the
top of the charts when examining startup growth,
investment and research into new technologies.
According to the report, London has attracted
$34.2 billion in growth capital over the last 10 years.

The Royal National
Theatre has begun testing a pilot program for
distributing smart
glasses that project an
overlay of captions for
theatergoers, making
live theater more accessible for the hearing
impaired. "The response
has been overwhelmingly positive for deaf
theatergoers who would
like to come into the
theatre anytime they
want," said Jonathan
Suffolk, technical director for the National
Theatre. The smart
glasses are available
free of charge at every
performance through
the pilot program,
which stretches through
the 2019 season.

Accelerator Looks to Advance
Female-Led Startups
A newly launched accelerator is aiming to bridge the gender gap
in tech by promoting and supporting startups with female founders. We in Social Tech, based in London, will provide bespoke
consultancy packages to 60 businesses over the next year and a
half, as well as connecting them with potential investors, according to Nwes, the organization responsible for the accelerator.
