Background

Few sectors move and change as quickly as digital technology and its trade association has evolved to keep in step with the sector.

Intellect, techUK's predecessor was formed in May 2003 as a result of a merger of the Federation of the Electronics Industry and the Computer Services and Software Association which brought the worlds of hardware and software together into one association. Ten years later, Intellect has been renamed techUK to better reflect the accelerating pace of innovation and to support an increasingly diverse base of growing tech companies operating across the economy and across the UK.

As a trade association representing technology companies, techUK has a long heritage dating back almost 100 years.

techUK builds on this heritage by bringing together the companies and technologies that are defining today the world that we will live in tomorrow.
