'Clear vote of confidence' as global tech firm moves HQ to Liverpool bringing new jobs

A global tech firm is swapping Singapore for Liverpool in a move that will bring jobs and growth to Merseyside.

LogChain has announced plans to join the ranks of more than 1,000 digital and tech businesses in Liverpool, a city that is an historic trade hub and an emerging global tech player.

Up to £4 million will be invested by LogChain in the Liverpool City Region over the next three years.

The news comes as the government pushes forward an agenda on digital trade with technologies like e-Bills, digital identity, and AI driven logistics becoming central to global exports.

Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle MP said LogChain’s decision to set up shop in Liverpool is “a clear vote of confidence in the UK and the North West”.

He continued: “This move strengthens our tech ecosystem, boosts future exports, and shows the UK is the place to be for cutting edge digital trade.

“The UK was the first G7 country to put electronic trade documents on the same level footing as paper documents, leading the way in modern global trade and strengthening our tech sector which is worth around £1 trillion.”

The move cements the UK’s position as the global hub for trade‑tech, supporting the next generation of British digital services firms looking to become major international exporters.

Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram, added: “I’m really proud that LogChain has chosen the Liverpool City Region as its UK base. We’re a place that ‘gets’ trade, logistics and technology, and we’re serious about backing companies that are shaping the future of global commerce.

“Moves like this help bring good jobs to the region and strengthen our links with the rest of the world.”
