The CEO of the world’s biggest technology trade show has slammed the UK government over a lack of support for its technology startups. CES expects to welcome 100,000 visitors who are keen to experience the latest developments in technology. “The British presence has been spotty, which is surprising to me.”Last year he said the failure of the Labour government to support CES was “kind of crazy”. They’re also in disarray, and that’s every government, including our own government, is having big issues in these western democracies. The number of UK exhibitors has fallen from more than 100 in 2019 to fewer than 30 this year.
