January really was the wettest on record, well done weather, how about celebrating that success by taking a break for February? While we cross our fingers on the weather, we have some things to look forward to in the coming month.

Last Event: CeBIT Stand Competition Finals
Next, let's congratulate the worthy winners of the competition for free stand space courtesy of UKTI at CeBIT Hannover. Read about what happened at the competition in the event round up, here.
Next Event: Acceleration and Finance, 17th Feb
Our next event is the latest chapter in our long running series on Finance for Start-Ups. Once again the inimitable John Spindler will be in the chair, but before he sits down he'll be explaining what the options for funding are in his updated 15 minute whistle stop tour. John's presentation is a national treasure, or should be, it contains an amazing amount of information in a very short space.
The focus of this event will be Accelerators. There are lots of them, there will soon be more. The questions: "What does it take to get on an Acceleration programme?" and "How much do investors value them?" will undoubtedly be among the topics of discussion.
We'll be announcing who will be joining John shortly, and we'll open registration in something over a week.

Smartphone Sales Topped 1 billion in 2013
Personally, I'm still sad that the UK billion is now the same as a US billion (geeky link), but that's because I'm a linguistic irredentist and that isn't relevant to this factoid. If you missed the news you can read about it here. Samsung in with 31% market share ... that's an awful lot of phones.
Keep dry
