This quarter’s CEOBarometer dives into the realities of a UK tech sector that entered 2025 expecting growth but is instead facing slower trading, elongated sales cycles, and selective capital. We explore the standouts bucking the trend - from ICT players like Wireless Logic to software innovators like Nervecentre and Origin - and unpack how AI adoption, capital market shifts, private equity’s “flight to quality,” and selective M&A are reshaping the landscape. The takeaway? In today’s market, success comes down to sharp positioning, clear focus, and strong execution.
