Tumelo at 10 Downing Street

Written by Georgia Stewart, CEO, Tumelo.
In early May 2025, I had the honour of attending an event at 10 Downing Street, hosted by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to mark the launch of Tech Nation’s Future Fifty 2025 cohort — of which Tumelo is proud to be a part.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to talk climate change (and Arsenal’s place in the Premier League) with the PM himself.
It was also a privilege to spend the evening alongside such an ambitious and diverse group of scale ups, all working to shape the future of ClimateTech, FinTech, MedTech, and more.
A huge thank you to Tech Nation and everyone championing innovation and positive change in the UK tech ecosystem. And to our fellow cohort (listed below) — it was a pleasure to meet you!
