June 11th 2026

The United Kingdom has, for the first time, formalized a long-term strategy for its Digital and Technologies sector, addressing a previously absent component of the government’s Modern Industrial Strategy. Published as the plan demonstrates a commitment to sustained investment and policy over a 10-year timeframe, moving beyond shorter-term tech initiatives. This approach aims to establish the UK as a leading global hub for innovation and secure lasting economic prosperity through technological advancement. “Meeting today’s challenges demands an active, strategic state that partners with business to harness technological change and drives opportunity and growth,” states the document, outlining progress on initiatives like a new Sovereign AI fund and five recently announced Digital and Technologies Technical Excellence Colleges across the UK

UK government takes stakes in Kraken, Wayve, and Oxford Quantum Circuits to retain high-growth startups

Britain is writing big checks to keep its most promising tech companies from seeking greener pastures abroad.

The UK government is putting its money where its mouth is on tech sovereignty. Through direct investment vehicles, Britain has taken stakes in three of its most promising startups: Kraken Technologies, Wayve, and Oxford Quantum Circuits, in a bid to keep them from decamping to foreign markets where funding has traditionally been easier to secure.

“The Company is actively reviewing alignment with programmes such as ProQure and related funding calls expected to be detailed by UK Research and Innovation in the coming months.”

—————————

“The British Business Bank (BBB) and the ProQure programme operate as interconnected pillars within the UK Government's National Quantum Strategy. While they are distinct entities managed by different agencies, they form a coordinated pipeline designed to discover, technically validate, and commercially scale the UK’s leading quantum computing companies”

British Business Bank investment in Quantum Motion

In May this year, the British Business Bank invested £40 million in the UK-based spinout, Quantum Motion. This followed reforms that allow the Bank to make larger investments in strategically important companies and builds on the Bank’s partnership with the National Security Strategic Investment Fund who first backed Quantum Motion in 2020.

Lung diseases are having a moment in drug development and life science investment, with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) gaining particular traction.

Several IPF‑focused or lung‑fibrosis‑focused biotechs HAVE RAISED SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL RECENTLY, such as Avalyn Pharma for its $100 million Series D. Big Pharma such as Bristol Myers Squibb has also joined the arena.

The interest in the lung space confirms what BioSpace reported earlier this year in discussions with investors on hot therapeutic areas. Several named IPF as a key focus area, citing new modalities, targets and pending patent cliffs driving innovation.

I agree. Increase in volume yesterday. Interesting to see after a few trading sessions of nothing…

Agree.

What I want to know is where did all that huge volume of buys come from yesterday?

If it holds above 2p could you promise to not post another Sunday sermon please mate?

Someone very hungry today and bodes well for some good news IMO.

Good luck all

Cheers Popeye62.

I think this can really motor on in the next few days.

Lovely 2 million buy at the close on Friday. There will be a few more of those in the next few trading sessions… 👀

The AI Agents space we are in is certainly hotting up and our time will come…

Good luck all invested…

NiCE to Acquire Cognigy for $995MN, Wants to “Set a New Standard” for AI in Customer Experience

What’s your relevance here lol

Not really impressive

Wed 20th August. Two largest trades are mine. 506k and 445k

Wed 15th 480k, 235k and also 180k

Yeah I’m expecting, hence buying just over £25k last couple of weeks.

All of those things you’ve mentioned were also applicable when we were at 4p as well. Our product has improved since then too.

Big rerate of SP here…

We’ve discussed this many times before and this is the last time I’ll reply. Life is too short.

Because the company said a few days for an update but that didn’t materialise.

Hence 4p down to 1.5p. Quite easy to understand really.

Problems have been rectified now with GTM AI integration as I have stated many times before and automatic onboarding will be much easier now and results will follow.

If those companies are in the shop window, Cykel with a superior cheaper product will certainly be as well.

Good luck to all those invested.

Another acquisition in our space…

SAP to acquire SmartRecruiters to ‘advance talent acquisition with speed and agility’

https://www.unleash.ai/market-news/sap-to-acquire-smartrecruiters-to-advance-talent-acquisition-with-speed-and-agility/

Again worth noting, SmartRecruiters offers a 70% reduction in time to hire compared to Cykel’s 75%.

Also smart recruiters only has a database of 100,000,000 profiles compared to Cykel’s 300,000,000 powered by its very own Deep People Search.

Our time will come and we will be bought out…

Paradox is more expensive around $1000 per month. Also has set up costs too. We are cheaper, better and also free automated set up 👍🏻

The competition is inferior if we are looking at Paradox. Significantly inferior. Something you should be happy about being an investor 👍🏻

Cykel is in a better position because it searches more applicants than an other AI recruitment tool out there.

It doesn’t say about 300 million applicants.

Worth noting Paradox’s Olivia Recruitment Agent reduces time-to-hire by up to 75%. That’s the same figure as Cykel.

But our advantage is that we have Deep People Search “a tool that harnesses neural search technology to identify optimal candidates from over 300 million professional profiles. This addition to the Company's portfolio further reinforces Cykel's position as a PIONEER in AI-powered recruitment solutions.”

Cykel is at the forefront of Ai recruitment and our time will come…
