Warren East, former CEO of Rolls Royce and Arm, speaking at a tech event in London on June 13, 2022.
"I think we have a lot to offer in terms of U.K.-based innovative technology," East told the audience at Cambridge Tech Week.
However, he added: "We tend not to be able to realise as many global businesses as that promise would suggest."
East was also previously the CEO of U.K. aviation engineering giant Rolls-Royce .
East said that Britain "needs to get commercialization right," adding that too much innovation gets created in the U.K. but is then exported elsewhere around the world.
