Twelve days into February and our Future Steps challenge for The Prince’s Trust and the TechMarketView teams have so far managed over 1.5 million steps.
Of our three teams, it’s TrailMarchVictory – formed from our amazing Client Services team - that is currently leading the way with 533k steps, pretty good going for a four-person team!
A big thank you to those of you that have already
sponsored us, it makes trying to do 10k steps a day, whatever the weather, a little easier knowing that we’re helping The Prince’s Trust provide much needed support to disadvantaged young people.
So far, we’ve raised some £300, but we’d love your help to get closer to our goal of £1,500 – any donation, however small, would be very welcome indeed. To donate, see our TechMarketView Fundraising Page and scroll down if you wish to sponsor a specific team member.

In December 2023, we published TechMarketView Predictions 2024: Enabling Acceleration. It detailed how 2023 was a tougher year for many UK Software & IT Services (SITS) suppliers, driven by a slowdown in the second half of the year.
A toughened environment, combined with other challenging factors such as increasing cyber threats, growing competitive pressure, and rising employee and customer expectations, is forcing many organisations to rethink tech investments. Whilst IT budgets might be tighter, there is intense pressure to keep pace with the speed of technological innovation and make a transformation step change, hence why our research theme for 2024 is Enabling Acceleration.
Today we have published UK Public Sector SITS Predictions 2024. The report provides six predictions for the use of technology for each of the six subsectors we track (Central Government, Local & Regional Government, Defence, Health, Education and Police) and the role it will play in Enabling Acceleration in the public sector.
PublicSectorViews suppliers can read our predictions for the use of technology in the public sector during 2024 and beyond by downloading UK Public Sector SITS Predictions 2024 today.

There is definitely something to be said for dawn dog walks and ditching the tube to walk between meetings, especially on a sunny day! February will see more of both as almost everyone at TechMarketView takes on the #FutureSteps challenge in aid of The Prince’s Trust.
I’m really proud that this year TechMarketView has three teams taking part with everyone trying to do at least 10,000 steps a day throughout February to raise funds for the Trust (and no, it hadn’t escaped our attention that there will be an extra day of stepping this year!).
For sedentary (home) office workers like us, it can be a genuine challenge to reach 10k steps a day, especially on workdays. But we know getting away from the desk a bit more is doing us good, whilst also helping to transform the futures of young people across the UK as we raise money that will go toward vital youth programmes including training, education and boosting confidence.
To be honest, we’re also enjoying the element of competition – for an SME like us, being ahead of giants like AWS, HSBC and KPMG on the steps leaderboard is very satisfying!
If you’d like to cheer the TechMarketView teams on with a small donation to The Prince’s Trust that will give young people a better future, this is the place to go >> https://events.princes-trust.org.uk/fundraisers/TechMarketView/future-steps
Thank you!

TechMarketView is today very excited to announce the launch of new research stream, called SustainabilityViews, designed to help our clients better understand how software and IT services are being deployed in pursuit of environmental sustainability goals.
SustainabilityViews takes a global view of sustainability technology, tracking emerging tech and use case developments for SITS in sustainability-related fields – reflecting how the fight against climate change is a worldwide concern.
TechMarketView’s in-depth analysis extends across a range of use case areas:
- Data and decision-making – e.g., carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and biodiversity;
- Goods and services – e.g., agritech, operational technology, green IT, supply chain and the circular economy;
- Lifestyle and logistics – e.g., smart cities, sustainable buildings, transport and travel ecosystems; and
- Power and utilities – e.g., carbon capture and removal, energy generation, storage and supply.
Expect to see much more in our 2024 research agenda, including profiles and evaluations that look at the credibility of SITS suppliers in the sustainability space (both established players and disruptive new entrants), end user case studies, our Totally Sust podcast interviews, and analysis of funding and M&A activity.
Plus, we’ll provide regular round-ups of how key technology areas have a role to play in delivering sustainability impact (such as “AI in Sustainability”) and how sustainability issues are being tackled in different industry sectors (such as “Sustainability in the NHS”).
Craig Wentworth, Principal Analyst and SustainabilityViews lead, introduces the new research stream in this short video clip.
Characterised by rich data and easy to digest written analysis, SustainabilityViews is essential reading for anybody with a stake in technology-assisted sustainability initiatives.
This new research stream will enable our clients to plan their approaches to sustainability, identify short term and long-term areas of SITS opportunity, and respond to market threats pre-emptively. It’s available from today, alongside our core Foundation Service, horizontal coverage of key technologies (including cloud, emerging tech, cyber, AI automation, and business process) in TechSectorViews, and in-depth coverage of key vertical markets in the PublicSectorViews and FinancialServicesViews streams.
To understand more about how our new SustainabilityViews research stream can help your organisation understand its sustainability obligations, obstacles, and opportunities, please contact Deb Seth.
