The UK’s economy is getting a welcome boost from young, technologically-savvy businesses, which could add £360 million to the economy and create over 70,000 new jobs over the next 12 months, according to a study commissioned by T-Mobile.
Mobile technology is at the heart of most of these new businesses, with 98% using smartphones for email and day planning. Social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are also used regularly to promote products and services on offer, network with potential customers and receive and respond to feedback.
New businesses who are keeping up with new technologies are often growing at a quicker rate than average start-ups, with more than 50% predicting they will increase their current revenues by 30% or more in the next 12 months.
Martin Stiven, Vice President of Business for T-Mobile, said of the study results, "It’s clear that Britain is benefiting from these optimistic young firms that have embraced technology and are creating jobs.
