London's thriving technology sector, the third-largest start-up ecosystem in the world, is letting down the city's young people, according to Made by Many's Neethu Mathew. It is an industry-led 12-week training and development programme aimed at training local talent in digital skills and connecting them to companies in the industry, so they can participate in the tech sector. Start-ups tend to be based in East London, where poverty levels are highest. The city has a long way to go before it can claim its place as one of Europe's most innovative cities, says Mr Mathew, who was born and raised there.
