I don't have easy answers - it's a complex issue and I don't think it's just about tech but about wider issues with British business in general (how many UK companies have tried and failed in the US?) Agreed on pharma but I'm not sure that there are many good examples of success stories outside of that space in e.g. finance. Just to point out that one reason why Arm was so successful early on was that it looked for business everywhere in the world. I think Robin Saxby spent incredible amounts of time in planes travelling on sales trips. I'm don't think that this is true for many UK companies and / or they are not very good at it. This insularity means that firms are in no position to compete with the scale of US firms when they move into the UK market. Edit: great interview with Robin Saxby, Arm's first CEO, talking about the early days of Arm here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO5PsAY5aaI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO5PsAY5aaI
