Digital
In the digital age in which we currently live, the importance of this sector cannot be underestimated and explains the sector’s inauguration to the Debrett’s 500 2015. Over the next ten years, it is estimated that London’s digital sector will boost the economy by around £12 billion. London is becoming a digital capital and the Silicon Roundabout is already a staunch rival to California’s Silicon Valley. The 500 list represents a variety of individuals involved with the sector’s past development and continued growth.
