Subcon announces Launchpad finalists

The finalists have been selected for the inaugural Launchpad Awards. From a diverse range of entries, the six start-ups chosen are:

“There is an undeniable high-technology flavour to a lot of these start-ups,” said Subcon event director Gordon Kirk. “But it is clear they are all grounded in specific, real-world applications. Bringing the latest technology to bear on existing issues is one of the hallmarks of a promising entrepreneurial venture and I am sure we will have a tough time judging the presentations.”

Engineer editor and Launchpad head judge Jon Excell added: “The profile these start-ups will secure and the exposure to engineering leaders and investment decision-makers is invaluable. But most of all, I am excited to see what the future of UK engineering holds and what is being developed right now, in labs and business across the country.”
