UK female tech entrepreneurs will travel to Silicon Valley as part of the latest international trade visit for the Mayor’s International Business Programme.

Led by London & Partners, the Mayor of London’s promotional company, the delegation will consists of fifteen female founders of some of the UK’s fastest growing tech companies.

The entrepreneurs will be looking for opportunities to grow their business and to get funding from investors in the US.

Melissa Morris, CEO and co-founder of Network Locum, said: “The trip is going to give this group of strong women a fantastic insight into how things are done in Silicon Valley. I’m looking forward to building more transatlantic connections which will help my business grow. It’s also an important opportunity for women in London’s tech scene to cement a strong supportive bond.”

Other entrepreneurs travelling to the Valley include Caroline Plumb, co-founder and CEO of Freshminds and Jessica Butcher, co-founder and director of Blippar.

Priya Guha, British Consul General in San Francisco, commented: “This unique experience will provide opportunities to foster collaborations in one of the most innovative, high-tech regions of the world.

“It will also be a place where we hope they will find some of the partnerships and tools to scale their businesses. I look forward to hosting them in the Bay area,” added Guha.
