UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves discusses UK startups and the government's plan to keep high-growth companies rooted in the UK, as well as efforts to create a British version of Silicon Valley. One of the challenges, she says, is that while Britain has many startup companies, as they scale up, "they drift towards America." She's on this week's episode of The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations. This interview was recorded January 21 on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
