into the veins of the UK economy Exactly a year ago, Keir Starmer, with the help of Matt Clifford, promised to “mainline AI into the veins” of the UK’s economy.The so-called AI Opportunities Action Plan, a 50-point blueprint unveiled in January 2025, was meant to turn that rhetoric into results, placing the UK on equal footings with the likes of China or the US, as a global AI superpower.A year later, the money seems to have arrived but the more concerning question is whether the plumbing is keeping up.New data from the Startup Coalition’s AI index shows the UK’s top AI firms have raised over £20bn in private capital, commanding a cumulative valuation north of £45bn.\n\nBusiness services alone account for about 400 AI startups, pulling in £8.3bn, while financial services and healthtech companies have driven unprecedented growth, proving Britain’s growing strength in sector-specific AI.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVinous AIi, deputy executive director of the Startup Coalition, dubbed it as evidence of a maturing ecosystem.“The UK is already a leader in the application layer”, he said. “With such a clear competitive advantage, the government needs to double down on where we are already winning”.Private capital lands ahead of the stateFor all the billions pouring in from venture funds and hyperscalers, public backing remains strikingly thin.\n\nOf the £20.2bn raised by leading AI firms, just £456.5m, which is barely 2.2 per cent, came from government.But other European countries like France have lent heavily into state co-investment, using public capital to de-risk scale-up technologies domestically.Britain’s approach has relied instead on market momentum, a gamble that private confidence alone will do the heavy lifting.The gap shows up early, with university spin-outs, a traditional strength of UK innovation, still giving away an average equity stake of 16.1 per cent to their parent institutions.\n\nThat is a significant improvement on a decade ago, but remains high by international standards, which risks deterring later-stage investors.The Startup Coalition is now urging ministers to consider a tiered equity cap to stop promising research dying on the vine.Tax, too, is emerging as a quiet brake on scale, and the Coalition has proposed a distribution-based corporation tax regime, under which firms pay zero corporation tax on reinvested profits and are taxed only when cash is distributed.Infrastructure – the real bottleneckIf funding forms one fault line, compute is the definite other, and potentially the most high risk of the two.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0
