About Founders Forum Group:

Founders Forum Group is a global community and group of businesses supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of their journeys. Its forums unite the world’s most influential founders, investors, corporate and government leaders to tackle era-defining questions in iconic locations across the globe.

In 2021, the group sold its innovation strategy consulting firm, Founders Intelligence, to global consultancy Accenture.

Since 2019, Founders Forum Group has partnered with Informa Tech to celebrate the strength and diversity of UK tech through London Tech Week.

In 2023, FFG acquired Tech Nation, the UK’s leading growth platform for tech scaleups.
