All techUK's work is led by our members - keep in touch or get involved by joining one of the programmes below.
Data Centres
Data centres provide the core infrastructure that underpins all digital activity across government, business and community. techUK’s award-winning programme provides a collective voice for UK operators. We work with government to improve the business environment for our members. To date we’ve saved UK operators over £150M, alerted them to business risks, mitigated regulatory impacts and raised awareness, most recently negotiating key worker status for the sector.
Communications Infrastructure and Services
techUK brings together government, the regulator, telecom companies and its stakeholders to help the UK maximise the benefits of adopting advanced communications services, maintain confidence in the security and resilience of our networks, and explore future telecoms. We do so to lower the cost to the sector of deployment, spur innovation and unlock value for all parties in connectivity. This is delivered through a mix of thought leadership, multilateral engagement and ecosystem building.
Climate, Environment and Sustainability
We believe that digital technology offers significant opportunities to support the net zero transition, climate adaptation, and a healthy and clean environment. We also recognise our own climate and environmental impact, as well as the human rights risks in the tech supply chain, and work closely with members, government, regulators and stakeholders to try and address these to realise the positive benefits of tech as we transition to more sustainable systems and business models.
