One by land or two by water a British trade delegation organized by the
advertising trade group IPA and supported by the United Kingdom’s Trade
and Investment organization is coming to California to visit with social
media and creative tech companies.

                                            

The delegation, which left today, will visit America’s largest search, social
networking and creative tech companies including Twitter and Zynga, and
leading Hollywood studios Walt Disney, Warner Bros and Twentieth Century
Fox.

The purpose of the mission is to present the UK as a creative partner for
West Coast tech and entertainment companies as well as a marketing hub for
international expansion. 

Meanwhile a group of tech entrepreneurs have been in Tech City in London at
this year’s Entrepreneur Festival to learn about the British government’s
efforts to encourage development and growth in the city's tech startup
community.
