Four features of the Tech Start Up of the Year

Start Ups are one of the most exciting parts of a thriving tech sector, and the South Coast is brimming with promising new talent. 

We’re looking to recognise one particularly notable Start Up at the South Coast Tech & Innovation Awards 2024 as we search for a company under 3 years old, or one that’s Series A or pre Series A funded, to take home a trophy. 

Sponsored by the University of Southampton Science Park, we’ll be looking for a nominee who’s truly making waves in the region and carving a name for themselves within such a complex industry. 

But what exactly are our independent judges going to be looking for? Here are four features we’ll find in our winner: 

Innovative Solutions 

Innovation is the name of the game in the modern world of tech – it goes without saying that the quickest way to stand out from the crowd is to wow our judges with your company’s solutions and products/services. 

Strong Market Potential 

Whether your tech fills a gap in the current market or levels up existing solutions to benefit everyone throughout the region and beyond, we’re looking for a company with truly strong market potential. Clearly demonstrating how you’ve been successful in navigating the market as you start your company’s journey will be instrumental in winning the title of Tech Start Up of the Year. 

Strong Leadership 

Behind every successful tech start up is a highly driven and skilled leadership team to call the shots. Lifting the trophy at the South Coast Tech & Innovation Awards shows the world that your company is one to watch, attracting potential partners, investors and clients and solidifying you as a key member of the region’s tech sector. 

Clear Vision 

We’re not just looking for a nominee who’s been successful thus far, but who will continue to be brilliant. The winner won’t be someone whose tech has harboured a temporary buzz, rather one who is establishing themselves as a serious contender in the industry. When filling in your nomination form, be sure to tell us how you plan to continue your growth trajectory and how your ambitions for the future are fuelling you to be better. 

So, do you think you’ve got what it takes to be named the definitive Tech Start Up of the Year at the South Coast Tech & Innovation Awards 2024? 

Nominations are still open for an increasingly limited time – you won’t want to miss out on the leading event on the South Coast tech sector’s corporate calendar.
