After searching the UK far and wide for the most exciting and innovative early-stage tech companies, and receiving an unprecedented level of interest – applications were up 39% from 2018 – we are delighted to announce the top three early-stage tech companies in each country and region of the UK.
Now in its second year, Rising Stars, the UK’s only national early-stage tech scaleup competition, is designed to help the most exciting early-stage tech companies take their business to the next level and become the world-leading tech companies of the future.
Mike Jackson, Entrepreneur Success Director, Tech Nation, commented: “The Rising Stars regional winners announced today are testament to the UK’s exceptional tech sector, and demonstrate that there are hugely exciting tech companies across the entire nation. Rising Stars is an excellent platform for early-stage tech companies to build their profile as they look to scale their businesses and support the UK in maintaining its position as a world leader for producing successful tech companies.”
Selected by a panel of industry experts, including Louize Clark, Director ConnectTVT, Mark Lyons, Investment Director, Praetura, Simon Bailie, CEO, Digital DNA and Pam Sheemar, Entrepreneur Development Manager, Natwest, the following companies have been regarded as early-stage tech leaders within their respective regions.
