Telefonica backed BlueVia to support developers

London, UK – 10th February 2011; TechHub, the space for innovative technology startups, is pleased to announce BlueVia as a new sponsor. A global developer platform from Telefonica, BlueVia joins TechHub sponsors Pearson and Google with a team spending time on-site to work closely with startups to provide insight and opportunities to the community.

Located in the heart of the ‘Silicon Roundabout’ area in Shoreditch, London, TechHub is based near technology companies such as Last.fm, Songkick and Moo. It offers desk space, meeting rooms, events and an invaluable opportunity to work with other technology startups from around the world.  It was created to support and emphasise growth of the thriving technology scene and is committed to encouraging creativity and entrepreneurship with the power of community. 

“Building a culture of collaboration and co-operation can drive innovation and helps expand the potential of startups; our relationship with BlueVia brings real benefits for our members and other tech companies,” said TechHub co-founder Elizabeth Varley. “They will be joining a growing community and supporting it through their expertise in mobile technology.
