by Alistair Hardaker Hull is the northern UK city which secured the most tech investment in 2020, a new report reveals. Data from Tech Nation and Dealroom, which formed part of Tech Nation’s ‘The future UK tech built’ report, shows that the city raised $108m in tech investment last year. The figure is bolstered by an £80m raise by Hull-based smart city firm Connexin (pictured) in September of last year. The investment puts Hull sixth in the UK, and fifth in the UK for tech investment outside of London, following behind Oxford, Bristol, Cambridge and Edinburgh. Hull's investment figures put it ahead of other northern cities including Manchester which raised $70.6m in 2020, Newcastle Upon Tyne which raised $59.7m, and Leeds which raised $44.6m.
