We are excited to introduce the cohort for the UK’s first ever Applied growth programme.
Announced earlier this year, the growth programme is part of the UK Government and Data Sector Deal , and aims to support the founders that are making a positive and tangible impact on today’s society at a crucial stage of their growth journey
The cohort were chosen on their ability to provide -driven solutions to real world problems, applying to create a tangible impact on society. The cohort includes Glasgow-based ClinSpec DX, which uses to provide cost-effective blood tests for the early detection of brain tumours. London-based Cervest utilises to answer questions linked to climate uncertainty, land, and natural resources. Bristol-based Gapsquare applies Artificial Intelligence to tackle gender and minority pay inequality. Minister for Digital Matt Warman commented: “Britain has a long history as a global leader in computing technologies and it is home to the early pioneers of – Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing.
“It is great to see our legacy in this field continue by the next generation of British startups who are using the power of technology to solve real-world problems such as tackling fake news, detecting cancer earlier and efficiently managing waste.
“Tech Nation’s Applied programme will help us make the UK the best place to start and grow an business and generate a significant contribution to the future economy. I look forward to seeing these companies compete on the global stage.” With over 140 applicants to the programme, it’s clear there is no shortage of innovative companies in the UK. And the calibre was so outstanding, our prestigious panel of judges chose 29 companies to join the programme – the largest cohort to date for our sector-specific growth programmes.
