We are delighted to announce that Optalitix has been named a finalist in the TechRound100, which ranks the top 100 start-ups in the UK that have been praised for their innovation and contribution to the UK's fast-growing start-up scene.

The announcement follows a week of judging from an expert panel including Mark Wright, former winner of The Apprentice and named in The Time’s Top 100 UK Entrepreneurs - and Adam Brodie of Ignition Financial who has advised on 15 successful exits and acquisitions in Europe, US and Asia.

Previous finalists of the TechRound100 have included Monzo, Beam, Revolutand PensionBee – and this year we have seen Too Good to Go, Curve, Mineand All Plants take the top spots.

TechRound is the UK’s leading voice for start-up news and opinions and the TechRound100 has always been a great place to showcase the UK’s talent and progress in the start-up and tech industry.

TechRound co-Founder David Soffer commented: “We are delighted by the influx of enquiries for the TechRound100. The UK is quickly becoming the start-up nation of the world and it is not hard to see why. The ideas, the passion and outside-the-box thinking is unrivalled.”

“We saw a huge growth in entries from Fintech, AI-driven companies and those focusing on sustainability and the environment. Products that are getting the most momentum are able to save time and money for their customers – and if there is an AI process to drive this, even better. Across food and fashion, people are starting to think environment-first and how not only their product can be enjoyed, but sustainable too.”
