Thirty seven new businesses from across a range of sectors have been recognised at the 2024 London StartUp Awards.

As part of the UK StartUp Awards programme established to highlight the success of startups across ten nations and regions, the London StartUp Awards recognises the achievements of those amazing individuals who have had a great idea, spotted the opportunity and taken the risks to launch a new product or service.

As well as being recognised as the best in their sector in London, all the winners will now progress to the inaugural national UK Startup Awards final where they will be competing against category winners from the rest of the UK. This will not only give them the opportunity to be crowned the best in their sector nationally but also to become the UK StartUp of the Year.

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 Welsh Government, Harriet Rees, CIO at Starling Bank says:

“Turning an idea into a successful business takes a lot of courage and dedication. Congratulations to all the companies on winning their categories in London 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.”

Over 318,000 new firms were created in London in 2023 and according to Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, creator of the awards, this demonstrates the growing importance of entrepreneurs to the capital city. 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 city.

He said:

“Start-ups are the life of any economy and that is especially true in London where those new businesses are contributing to job creation, innovation, and prosperity across the whole of this entrepreneurial region. It’s been an honour and a pleasure to read the stories of those founders who have spotted the opportunity and taken the risk to launch their own venture. All of the winners have demonstrated that they deserve to win their categories and I’m looking forward to having the ‘best of the best’ from London competing at the UK final later this year”

The UK final will take place on September 12th at Ideas Fest – the festival for entrepreneurs, business leaders, disruptors, change-makers and decision-makers.
