SETsquared company Interactive Scientific scooped the award for Best Elevator Pitch, thrilling the audience with their presentation about making simulations in the molecular nano-world using their Nano Simbox platorm.
Becky Sage, Managing Director of the winning venture, commented: “We are delighted to have been selected for the Best Elevator Pitch. We are currently fundraising, so the event has provided us with a great opportunity to raise awareness about our business.”
Robin Geller, the Registrar of the University of Bristol, said: “We are in fast-changing times and we must keep abreast of and support new technologies as well as new business methods. The University is fully committed to innovation. Thriving as a tech cluster would not be possible without strong linkages and collaboration between the city, industry and academia.”
The Innovation Showcase was sponsored by Veale Wasbrough Vizards, Barclays and Smith & Williamson, and kindly hosted at Veale Wasbrough Vizards’ Bristol office. The showcase provided an invaluable opportunity for the region’s high-tech, high-growth companies to network with potential investors, corporate partners and academics.
