Eric Doyle, Editor In Chief at TechBritannia, commented:

The Channel Islands is among many other areas within the UK that have thriving digital companies and communities, and they each deserve just as much recognition as London. We can’t wait to see ideas and innovations developing in Jersey during our visit.”
