Discovering Start-Ups 2011 – stimulating and enabling technology innovation

Prize Overview

Following our experience last year we have decided to have one category for the competition and award prizes to five companies chosen by the judges as ‘ones to watch’.  We will endeavour to ensure that the judges have experience of the different stages in a company’s development and access to funds/ skills that will be of use.  There will be five winners, all receiving a cash prize of £2000 plus a trophy. A range of other services will be available for the winners and there will be an opportunity to pitch to an international audience at the Future Wireless International Conference in 2012.

Prizes for the competition will be awarded to the winning companies at Cambridge Wireless' prestigious Founders' Dinner Event, on 8th December 2011.
