In this week’s edition of Tech Weekly with Aleks Krotoski we hear from the co-founder of audio-sharing service SoundCloud, Alex Ljung. Ljung was a key speaker at the first outing of the TechCrunch’s Disrupt Europe 2013 conference which took place in Berlin last week and brought together the great and good of US venture capital with a broad range of young tech startups from around Europe.

Alongside Ljung we hear from young tech startups including Sizem, the Zagreb-based site attempting to get better-fitting bras to the women of the world and Lock8, the smart lock for your bike that could change city bike-hire schemes, which won the €40,000 prize in the Disrupt "Battlefield" competition.

Aleks is also joined by Guardian technology editor Charles Arthur and reporter Samuel Gibbs to discuss some of this week’s big tech stories including Tesco’s introduction of face recognition technology to deliver adverts at its petrol stations, Twitter’s IPO and the Raspberry Pi affordable mini-screen that broke a Kickstarter record.
