Taavet Hinrikus, CEO of Transferwise, a London-based money transfer platform, spoke about the effect the Brexit has already had and is likely to have on the tech sector.

"We have to wait and see. No one knows what the detail will be, but this is likely to affect regulation and the movement of talent: two massive issues for business," said Hinrikus. "The two main benefits of being part of the EU are access to talent because of the free movement of labour and the fact that you can ‘passport' regulation so if you're regulated in the UK, you' re regulated across the EU. We don't know what's going to happen with either of those."
