Last year a seven-year-old boy became the first child in the UK to undergo surgery using a robot created by CMR Surgical. CMR Surgical is ranked 17th in the hardware section of the hot 100, pharma business Cycle Pharmaceuticals 24th and drug discovery services company Metrion Biosciences 44th. To qualify for the Sunday Times 100 Tech, companies must be independent, privately owned, and headquartered in the UK. Collectively the 100 companies on the national list generated sales of £3.2 billion, up by £2.6 billion in the last three years. Out of the 100 companies featured more than a half (56) are based in London with the rest spread through-out the country.
