“Brexit“ likely to impede growth of British high-tech industry

Almost three-quarters (74%) of European high-tech companies are convinced that a “Brexit” would have a negative impact on the growth of the high-tech industry in the UK. Only 33% predict a negative impact on the industry’s growth in the remaining EU.
 
While industry representatives in Europe are convinced that a “Brexit” would put above all the British industry at a disadvantage, the British more often think that it would affect the rest of the EU as well. For instance, a majority of British respondents predict a negative impact on the growth of the high-tech industry in the EU, on trade within the EU, on international collaboration within an EU without the UK, and on the international competitiveness of the continental European industry.
