Silicon Beach?
Can startups flourish outside the tech hubs of major cities? Zoe Kleinman presents.
Can startups flourish outside major cities? We visit a tech hub in the UK with a seaside location, and hear from 'Silicon Beach' founder Matt Desmier and app developer Ted Nash, while Robert Gaal from the TQ hub in Amsterdam, argues the case for cities. Plus we hear from the BBC's Dave Lee, in Las Vegas for not one but two major hackers' conferences, and artist and inventor Bart Jansen, the man famous for turning his pet cat into a drone. Zoe Kleinman presents, and our special guest in the studio is chief envisioning officer for Microsoft, Dave Coplin.
