• The estimated turnover of UK digital tech industries reached £161bn in 2014

• The Digital Tech Industries are creating employment opportunities and accounting for 1.56M jobs across the UK

• The UK’s increasingly diverse range of digital skills and specialisms are also now thriving beyond the tech sector – 41% of Digital Tech Economy jobs exist in what are thought of as traditionally non-digital industries – such as the public sector and financial services
