What are the UK StartUp Awards?

The UK StartUp Awards are accolades recognising outstanding start-ups in various categories based on innovation, growth, impact, and other criteria.

Who can apply for the UK StartUp Awards?

The UK StartUp Awards were designed to support, encourage and celebrate the achievements of businesses in their first three years of trading that have made a difference in their industry through innovative strategies, products, or services. Any start-up may apply and have the chance of winning, regardless of business size, turnover, or levels of investment!

Is there an application fee?

No, there is no cost to enter the awards.

How are the winners decided?

Winners are chosen by a panel of esteemed judges from the industry, academia, and investment communities. The selection process is based on several factors including innovation, scalability, societal impact, and financial performance.

How many categories are there in the UK StartUp Awards?

The number of categories may vary each year, but typically include sectors like Technology, Health, Sustainability, Social Enterprise, and more.

What if I have more questions?

If you have any other questions or require clarification, please reach out to our support team via email or through the contact form on our website.

How can my company sponsor the UK StartUp Awards?

We’re thrilled to hear of your interest! Companies can choose between national and regional sponsorship opportunities. Please reach out to our sponsorship team via our website or the contact details provided for more information on the process and packages available.

What’s the difference between national and regional sponsorship opportunities?

National sponsorship provides brand visibility across all our award ceremonies and associated events throughout the UK. Regional sponsorship, on the other hand, focuses on specific regional events, offering targeted visibility in a particular geographic area of your choice.

Can we customise our sponsorship package?

Absolutely! We understand that every company has unique objectives. While we have predefined packages, we’re more than willing to discuss a customised package tailored to your company’s goals and needs.
