The School of Innovation is thrilled to announce that it has won its inaugural award, being named as the North West education startup of the year by the UK StartUp Awards. This prestigious recognition reflects the unwavering dedication and hard work of the team, and immense gratitude is extended to everyone who has supported this journey.
A total of twenty-three new businesses spanning various sectors have been recognised at the 2024 North West StartUp Awards. This programme, part of the UK StartUp Awards initiative, celebrates startups across ten nations and regions, honouring those who have had remarkable ideas, spotted opportunities, and taken the risks necessary to launch innovative products and services.
In addition to being acknowledged as the best in their sector in the North West, all winners will advance to the inaugural national UK StartUp Awards final, where they will compete against category winners from across the UK. This event offers a chance not only to be crowned the best in their sector nationally but also to earn the coveted title of UK StartUp of the Year.
This initiative is 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, commented:
“Turning an idea into a successful business takes a lot of courage and dedication. Congratulations to all the companies on winning their categories in the North West and making it to this year’s UK National Final. Startups need certainty to plan ahead. It’s great to see so many thrive, especially in these challenging economic times.”
In 2023, over 85,000 new firms were created in the North West, demonstrating the increasing significance of entrepreneurs to the regional economy. Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, creator of the awards, expressed excitement over recognising the best new firms from Cumbria to Manchester to Liverpool, celebrating the extraordinary entrepreneurial talent emerging from every corner of the region.
