The App Association, known as ACT, has issued a statement regarding the newly announced trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom. The association's members have expressed general approval of the development, which they believe will enhance opportunities for UK tech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
According to ACT, the U.S. market is crucial for many app developers based in the UK. The proposed technological partnership between the two countries is seen as a potential catalyst for expanding access to this significant marketplace, thereby generating new prospects for its members and benefiting the broader UK tech ecosystem.
ACT's statement highlights their appreciation for the government's dedication to economic growth and acknowledgment of the tech sector's vital role in achieving this goal. "It is encouraging to see that the Government is both committed to growing the UK economy and recognises the importance of the tech sector in delivering on that commitment," reads part of their message.
The App Association looks forward to collaborating with government officials to secure an optimal deal for its members and all UK tech SMEs. They emphasize their readiness to engage with policymakers to ensure favorable outcomes.
ACT represents technology developers ranging from micro-enterprises to medium-sized businesses across both local and global markets. Their mission involves advocating for policies that encourage innovation while providing support such as capital raising resources and job creation opportunities within the technology field.
