UK Prime Minister David Cameron Launches Tech City Map

By Trampoline Systems | Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Earlier today UK Prime Minister David Cameron visited Shoreditch to launch the Tech City Map, the project created by Trampoline to analyse the fast-growing ecosystem of technology businesses located in East London. The platform uses Trampoline’s SONAR technology to pull in Twitter feeds for more than 800 businesses in the area and analyse their connections, influence and focus on the community. David Cameron said of the project:

“The Tech City Map, which underlines the fantastic level of creativity and innovation taking place in the area, is a great showcase for East London’s start-up community. It’s also a demonstration of how small, innovative businesses can collaborate with leading corporations. It’s fitting that the Tech City Map is 100% home-grown in East London with its creators Trampoline and Playgen both based in Shoreditch.”

The project was developed in partnership with Thomson Reuters, Mother, Cisco, Atos and LinkedIn and the user interface was designed by Shoreditch-based business Playgen. The BCS and London Borough of Hackney also supported the project.

A gallery of photographs from the launch event is available on the Trampery’s Facebook page.
