Let’s try and define what hardware startups do exactly.

What is hardware tech?

Hardware tech involves the physical components of technology—everything you can touch, from the sleek smartphone in your pocket to the high-performance servers powering the internet, and the innovative gadgets that seem to leap straight out of science fiction.

It's about the tangible pieces of technology that need to be designed, engineered, and manufactured.

Unlike software, which is all about the code and programs that make devices useful, hardware tech is the backbone of all digital devices and systems, providing the necessary platform for software to run on.

In the world of tech, hardware is often where innovation begins; it's the creation of new devices that can change how we interact with the world.

From revolutionary computing systems that can process vast amounts of information to wearable devices monitoring our health 24/7, hardware tech is at the forefront of innovation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Example of a hardware tech startup: Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi is another standout example of a successful UK hardware tech startup.

Launched in 2012 by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in Cambridge, it has revolutionised computing with its affordable, credit card-sized computers.

Designed to promote teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries, the Raspberry Pi devices have also become hugely popular among hobbyists, makers, and professional developers for a wide range of projects, from home automation to building personal servers.

The success of Raspberry Pi lies in its affordability, versatility, and the strong community of users and developers it has fostered around the world.
