Britain has many more technology firms than the government estimates, according to a new report.

Under its classification the government recognises 187,600 digital companies.

Research by the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) says there are almost 270,000 such companies in the UK, 40% more than the government estimate.

BBC News - UK has more digital firms than thought, NIESR reports

Interesting to see the report was commissioned by Google

Not sure what the difference is in the scheme of things, but it would be nice to see a breakdown of companies that actually employ people or are producing products and doing research, versus 1 man band ecommerce sites that fold within 12 months.
