A NEW study has crowned Harlow as the UK’s number one tech hub, offering the ultimate combination of high salaries and affordable living for tech professionals.
Harlow Council’s Cabinet member for Economic Development, Councillor Michael Hardware, has welcomed the study. He says that it backs up the hard work the council has been doing to promote Harlow as both a place to do business but also to live and work.
Councillor Hardware, said: “We are on a mission to secure investment for Harlow’s future and that means working hard with our partners to bring even more investment into the town. Our town has a strong track record of innovation – fibre optics were invented here – and that spirit of invention and discovery is playing a part in our reinvention of Harlow.
“That spirit is alive and thriving at places like Harlow Innovation Park and the nearby Kao Park and Kao Data.
“This study puts Harlow way ahead of other areas for tech hubs, which shows that our hard work is paying off. Harlow is an attractive place for business and as a place of opportunity and a high-quality of life for talented tech professionals who want to work and live in our great town.
“The future is looking very bright for Harlow!”
