President Donald Trump has increased the H1 B visa fee from $ 1,500 to $ 100,000, making US technology companies almost impossible for Indians to hire, and other countries stand out to attract them. In order to develop a new technology ecosystem, the UK is on new rules to attract Indian engineers and other technology professionals. If it is to be believed in media reports, Prime Minister Keir Starmer waives the visa fee and offers other incentives to the Indians at a time when the Trump administration takes new steps to determine Indian professionals to go to the place of opportunities. The initiative managed by the UK’s global talent duty force aims to attract talent in the field of science, engineering, digital technology and medicine.
England PM Keir Starmer Migration Policy
Analysts believe that the British government wants to develop an ecosystem of science and technology that can help the country’s emergence as a center of science and technology like the United States and to contribute to the economic development of the country. In addition to England, France, Germany and the Netherlands, they want to develop their own ecosystems and attract global talent and hardcore professionals. All these countries want to fill the gap that can be created due to Donald Trump’s policies. However, analysts believe that there are many problems. These countries are far behind the US in the field of science and technology. Although Germany has made a praised progress in the development of technology, it is still behind the USA.
Silicon Valley vs EUROPE
Secondly, US technology companies took advantage of private investments and benefited from the initial culture of European countries, which is missing. These countries witnessed brain release and migration of capabilities grown at home due to the lack of initial culture. Compared to the Silicon Valley, they have nothing to boast of.
European countries have recently witnessed the growth of anti -immigrant forces. Following the anti -immigrant policies, extremely right political parties gained popularity in England, France and Germany.
If Indian immigrants reach these countries, they will probably encounter opposition. This can remove the policies of their governments. England, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries such as the US has not yet seen the territory of opportunities.
