Warwick business is Cleantech Startup Of The Year in regional awards
Warwick-based startup Flux Aviation has been named as the Cleantech Startup of the Year at the Midlands StartUp Awards 2024.
Flux Aviation is an innovative SME developing electric powertrain technologies that will enable zero emission aviation for passenger and cargo aircraft serving regional routes. With a mission to electrify aviation, Flux Aviation plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and collaboration within the aerospace sector.
Radovan Gallo, co-founder and CEO of Flux Aviation, said: "This recognition highlights our innovative efforts to push the boundaries of technology to create a better tomorrow, aligning with global sustainability goals. It also validates our mission to electrify regional aviation, strengthening our position as a key player in driving forward-thinking solutions within the aerospace industry.”
The UK StartUp Awards were established to highlight the success of startups across ten UK nations and regions, including the Midlands, and to celebrate the achievements of entrepreneurs in all sectors of the economy.
Supported nationally by Starling Bank, Airwallex, Chime Agency, Development Bank of Wales, EvaBuild, ForrestBrown, GiftRound, GS1 UK, Join Talent, OVHcloud, Project Simply, ScoreApp, SFC Capital and the Welsh Government, Harriet Rees, CIO at Starling Bank said: “Turning an idea into a successful business takes a lot of courage and dedication. Congratulations to Flux Aviation on winning their category in the Midlands and making it to this year’s UK national final. Start-ups need certainty to plan ahead. It’s great to see so many thrive, especially in these challenging economic times.”
More than 114,000 new firms were created in the Midlands in 2023 and according to Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, creator of the awards, this demonstrates the growing importance of entrepreneurs to the regional economy. He is also excited that the awards are, yet again, recognising the best new firms and celebrating the amazing entrepreneurial talent from every corner of the region.
As a regional winner in their category, Flux Aviation will now progress to the UK Startup Awards final being held at Ideas Fest on September 12th.
