Deeper trading ties will create opportunities for UK businesses that were simply not there as part of the EU, and set the stage for a much closer partnership with one of the economic powerhouses of the present and future, ensuring more investors like Tata Consultancy Services bring jobs and growth to the UK. We will be collaborating much more closely in the industries of tomorrow like science, tech, and green growth, so we can build back better and deliver an export-led, investment-led, jobs-led recovery from coronavirus."

Through collaborating with some of the UK's leading companies in their development and innovation efforts and helping them exploit the potential of digital technology to launch new creative products and services, TCS has become an integral part of the UK economy's drive to stay internationally competitive.
