The UK government is currently transforming the East London area into a 'Tech City' and planning for the next five years. Ed Vaizey, Minister for the Digital Economy, stated that part of the UK's technology strategy and plans for the next five years is to ensure the completion of a digital single market in Europe, calling on the British public to contribute ideas for the UK's technology strategy over the next five years. Ed Vaizey urged the public to contribute in four key areas: digital growth, government transformation, digitization of daily life, and infrastructure development. Those looking to immigrate to the UK can consider investing in these areas.
Ed Vaizey stated that when the US government created USA.gov, they replicated our model, and the next step in the UK's digital government transformation will see the UK become a 'smartphone nation'. Ed Vaizey used Amazon as an analogy, stating that in the future, British citizens will be able to update their passports online as easily as ordering books online. Additionally, Ed Vaizey suggested that the UK government should vigorously promote the use of drones in government and commercial settings, and he also hinted that in the next 5 years, the government will strongly advance online education, which various schools can benefit from.
