Our 13 Silicon Gorge 2023 winners have been announced! Following the finals back in April, these startups are set to pitch at the Investor Showcase on 18 May 2023. We’re so pleased to say that for the first time in Silicon Gorge history, there are more women pitching than men.
These companies have been curated after a 3-stage selection process by experienced network and investor judges, all organised as part of the Investment Activator Programme. We had just under 70 applicants this year and have been running the competitive selection process over the last 6 weeks.
This year the most established pitching event in the region will be held at PWC’s beautiful riverside offices, near Temple Meads station, and will be supported by Cintra Global and our fabulous Investment Activator Partners.
We’ve had some amazing companies come through Silicon Gorge in the past few years including Immersive Labs, LettUs Grow, Condense, Virti, Rovco, KETS Quantum, Intelligent AI Limited, Yellowdog, Neighbourly, Roqqett, OKKO Health – and so many other brilliant companies from the South West. It’ll be great to see who comes through this time!
This year’s companies cover everything from innovative food supplements to support gut health, to biodiversity mapping and AI prehabilitation platforms for surgery, it’s set to be a fascinating day.
While there are a limited number of spaces to attend, any investors interested in attending the Silicon Gorge Investor Showcase on 18 May should contact iap@techspark.co to be added to the invite list.
