Laura Miller weighs up the
opportunities for tech investors
in the AIM index
Micro

AIM and tech always
seemed destined to
become intertwined. The
Alternative Investment
Market celebrated its quarter-century
in June as a home for fledgling
companies seeking investors; its
launch year of 1995 also showed
smaller tech firms what was possible,
introducing consumers to the
revolutionary USB, DVD and Sony
PlayStation.
Tech companies currently make
up 15 per cent of AIM listings, with
many companies attracted by a lower
bar to entry than the London Stock
Exchange’s main market and hopes of
a British Nasdaq, where investment
capital turbo charges growth.
