Innovation is GREAT Britain: E&M - Commerce in the UK
The UK is an undisputed leader in the E&M Commerce sector, with a unique blend of market demand, ease of doing business and a rich and diverse ecosystem of companies able to support and sustain retailers across the supply chain. This, combined with Europe’s position as the biggest online retail market in the world, makes the UK an easy choice for any prospective investor.

Very cool. DeadSoci.al participated in the @UKTIatSXSWi and @Chinwag mission to SxSw. Great coverage from The Next Web.
DeadSoci.al, announced at this year’s SXSW festival and launched at TNW 2012 Conference, lets users create a calendar of ‘secret’ messages that are shared across Facebook, Twitter, Google , etc, after a user passes away. “This allows for communication and creativity to occur in death and those final messages to be told,” says CEO James Norris. The concept, though a bit shocking, makes sense for many people who wish to share their final thoughts post-mortem. Plus, if you’re especially invested in your social presence, there’s no reason why sharing your last words with the world wouldn’t spark many user’s interests. There’s also a controversial side, as seeing messages published after a loved one’s death may upset some users. Also, as companies often take advantage of celebrities and artists in death, management can now continue to do so at the highest level online.

You can find more details about the program here: http://digitalshoreditch.com and we will send out more details about how US companies can get involved through UKTI later this week, we think you are going to like our plans!
All the excitement around Digital Shoreditch reminded us that we often get asked by US tech companies, “what are the best networking/ meet up events in Tech City and across London?” One of our colleagues pulled this list together of some of the best.
