Technium Challenge Finalist

Thursday evening (29/05) saw the final conclusion of the Technium Challenge business planning competition with an awards ceremony taking place in Swansea. Unfortunately Practice-IT did not place in one of the top three positions, but it was still an honour to be chosen as a finalist. The competition assesses the UK’s most promising start-up technology companies. The initial number of entries into the competition was high and a first round selection process cut the number of companies down to 20 eligible businesses. These 20 companies went through a second round of judging out of which the 9 finalists emerged.

The final phase of the competition was a presentation on the business opportunity of the relevant company to a panel of judges. A daunt ting prospect as the panel are well respected individuals in the business world and competition sponsors. Following the presentation was a Q&A session which brought out a few interesting ideas.

So where do we go from here? We can certainly take heart in the fact that we are seen as one of the countries leading start-up technology companies by an institution that has a long history of supporting successful technology businesses. The work does not stop for us though; this has just confirmed what we have thought all along that we have a very exciting unique offering that benefits end users and customers alike.
