Technology group, Apadmi, has become one of just 15 UK businesses selected to contribute to the annual Parliamentary Review on the state of the country’s technology sector.
The Parliamentary Review investigates the political and economic challenges facing all business sectors and provides recommendations on how industry leaders can overcome particular issues.
Apadmi was approached by the Parliamentary Review team to provide insight for the technology section of this year’s edition, given its 18 years’ industry expertise and experience.
After recent rapid growth, and the launch of its new business arms, including Apadmi Enterprise, investment-focussed Apadmi Ventures, and research-based Apadmi Labs, the Group has used its inclusion in the Review to explain how constant learning and development is key to continued sector growth.
Apadmi chairman, Garry Partington, said: “Mobile is still our core function, and we’re still building award-winning apps. But, we’ve evolved into a group of companies that are capable of delivering transformative technology solutions for some of the UK’s most complex organisations.
“We were thrilled to be asked to feature in this year’s Parliamentary Review, and were keen to stress our thoughts on what the wider technology industry needs if the whole sector is to progress: namely education.
“We believe that by teaching younger generations about opportunities within technology and getting them excited about a career in the field, we’ll be able to tackle the industry-wide skills gap issue head on.”
The group is keen to push for children to learn skills from a young age that will not only open them up to a huge job market in later life, but provide them with an engaging and exciting career.
As such, Apadmi has recently worked closely with schools and universities, most recently speaking at the careers event Grow Your Digital Future, held by Lloyds Banking Group.
