The StartUp Awards National Series is a collaboration between the founders of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards and the Wales Start-Up Awards, the only regional awards currently celebrating new businesses in the UK.

Commenting on the awards, Professor Elizabeth Treasure, Chair of Universities Wales, said:

“We are delighted to once again sponsor the Graduate StartUp Award and show our support for the entrepreneurial talent coming out of Welsh universities.
 
“Graduate start-ups are a vital part of Wales’ economy. Our universities do excellent work supporting graduate entrepreneurs as they set up new businesses, and we can be proud in Wales to have the highest proportion of graduate start-ups per capita in the UK.
 
“Everyone’s start up journey is different but all share an enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit that should be championed and celebrated.
 
“As the country builds back after Covid, nurturing and developing the graduate start-up sector will be crucial in Wales’ recovery and in creating a vibrant and diverse economy.”
