Bendi CEO speaks with UK Tech minister

On Tuesday, 13th June 2023 Bendi’s CEO Mandeep Soor took part in a roundtable with Paul Scully MP, the UK’s Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy.

The event, titled “Roundtable on Supporting the Diverse Creator and Entrepreneur Ecosystem” was organised by Colorintech as part of London Tech Week.

Mandeep joined a distinguished panel of thought leaders and innovators from different sectors who came together to discuss the critical issue of supporting and growing a diverse creator and entrepreneur ecosystem.

Colorintech is a non-profit committed to increasing diversity in the tech industry and has been a huge supporter of Bendi since the founding of the company after Bendi took part in the Colourintech Rise accelerator programme. We are grateful to Colorintech for the invitation to this roundtable and for allowing us to participate in this important conversation.

Bendi’s CEO Mandeep Soor said of the event, “I was extremely pleased to have the opportunity to bring these important topics to the attention of the UK’s first tech minister. The conversation was incredibly fruitful and whilst there are a lot of great initiatives out there, it is clear that more is needed to overcome the challenges that founders from diverse backgrounds often have to navigate in their entrepreneurial journeys. I’m looking forward to seeing how the topics we discussed influence the government's next policy interventions in this space”.
