Recently, I had the pleasure of facilitating the AI working group at the first ever 10KSB Hackathon hosted at Goldman Sachs International. The full-day event culminated on stage, where our 10KSB alumni presented their policy ideas to leaders in the UK small business ecosystem. The cherry on top? Varun Chandra, Business and Investment Advisor to Number 10, was there.

Here’s a snapshot from my day with the fantastic AI working group members.

❓‘How might government help small business leaders to systematically leverage AI for growth?’

💡Train. Equip every leader with an AI growth plan, created through best-of-class training from the private sector backed by government.

💡Incentivise. Enable AI adoption and innovation through grants, R&D tax credits, and apprenticeship levies. Refocus current funding options to retain the UK’s competitive edge.

Wonderful insights from today’s AI hackathon working group at Goldman Sachs, London. #10KSBUK #10KSmallBiz
