The scale of it:
🔹 5,000+ entrepreneurs enter
🔹 18 categories, start-up to scale-up
🔹 10 nations & regions celebrated

The alumni list speaks for itself: Gr***de, Simmer Eats, Zilch, Little Moons, Tangle Teezer, ClearScore. Kitchen tables to household names 📈

They were finalists once too.

Moments after winning the Early Stage Stand Out Award, Shabnum Hanif of Introspexion Wellbeing shared one piece of advice every founder needs to hear:

"You came up with this vision for a reason. Stick to that vision because it will work."

This November, another group of finalists will take to the stage. We can't wait to see where their stories lead.

It's rarely the goal, but it's often the fuel.
