On 25 April, Tech Nation announced it has become part of Founders Forum Group.

This does not change the current process of applying for Global Talent endorsement as a digital technology applicant. You can still:

• use the Tech Nation website to continue an application you started
• start a new application

Were working to confirm the long-term option for the endorsement of digital technology applications. Details will be published on this page as soon as possible.

Importance of digital technology applications

Were committed to maintaining a strong digital technology offer as part of the Global Talent visa, and well try to minimise disruption to those applying. Well provide a further update in the coming weeks.

Tech Nation, as the endorsing body for digital technology since April 2014, have developed criteria and assessed applications from a wide range of individuals who have benefited both their sector and the wider economy. We thank Tech Nation for their valuable work on the Global Talent visa and their willingness to continue to work with government as we start the next phase of the Global Talent visa for digital technology.
