Cash injected into the thriving tech sector from Europe jumped to a record high of £1.89 billion in 2018, up from £1.66 billion in 2017, according to new data from law firm Penningtons Manches.
The number of tech deals involving European funds rose marginally to 150 last year, compared to 149 deals in 2017, while the value of the deals rose by 14 percent, as the average investment size boomed.
The EU remains confident in the long-term prospects of the sector in the UK, the firm said, as the value of deals involving at least one EU investor rose to £1.53 billion, from £1.26 billion in 2017.
[...] The US remains the largest overseas investor in UK companies, with a third of the total funds secured by British firms coming from US backers. Silicon Valley remains a key source of investment, with 101 deals involving cash from the west coast of America.

Don't forget, both my parents were born in EU sectors. My mother was Scotland. My father was Germany. And, you know, I love those countries. I respect the leaders of those countries, but in a trade sense, they've really taken advantage of us, and many of those countries are in NATO.

So Scotland's decision to let you build a golf course and hotel complex is now being seen as 'taking advantage of you'? You could always take your money elsewhere. They have some building plots for sale in Moscow I hear, perhaps you have heard about them?

I was very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the World. In the most beautiful country ever. Trump International, Scotland. I built that one to further U.K. relationship. But they want to turn it into a graveyard for birds -- sullied by these awful windmills. We're fighting that one, very hard. If you have a windmill anywhere near your golf course, congratulations, your course just went down 75% in value. And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, OK? Rerr rerr!!

(cont) And by the way, we love the Scottish people. Who, very proudly, voted in Brexit Referendum. Saying, "we want OUT of E.U." They voted overwhelmingly to take back their country. But TOTALLY INCOMPETENT U.K. government (David Cameron& Theresa May) has done nothing but delay, delay, delay!!!
