The exposure I gained from pitching at the Strathclyde Inspire100 event has been invaluable. Winning the award not only validated my business concept but also garnered attention from potential clients, investors, and partners. This increased visibility has helped to expand my network and forge meaningful connections within the industry.

Securing a place on the Inspire Accelerator programme enabled me to grow my business rapidly over a six-month period, gaining knowledge from workshops on topics including legalities, marketing, public speaking, investor pitching and finance. The most valuable support I received was the connections I made – I still work with many of them years down the line!

Being given an office space in the Inspire Hub provided us with a great space to effectively work on our technical development in a welcoming environment. It has allowed us to expand our network and introduce our technology to others. Our presence in the Hub has given us invaluable credibility for collaborating with other industries.
