Acording to UK's Companies House search, Uber's nature of business (SIC) is 74990 - Non-trading company. This is quite vague but it doesn't mention technology.

Interestingly, they were also called UBER TECHNOLOGIES LTD and UBERTECHNOLOGY LIMITED at some point in time, but these companies are now dissolved.

The real company in Luxembourg.

If that were true the nature of their company would be 'tax dodge'
