London Technology Fund Awards 2009

The second London Technology Fund Awards were held on November 4th at the City headquarters of the Royal Bank of Scotland. For the awards Berry Place created encapsulated acrylic tombstone awards and the Grand Prix 'Eddie' Award. The 'Eddie' was sculpted from designs by Busara and is an amalgamation of characters created to represent each category in the competition.

The London Technology Fund Competition was established in 2008. The success of the 2008 programme led to a repeat of the competition in 2009, with an expanded programme of workshops and additional major technology corporates joining the innovative corporate "speed-dating" event. The programme runs for nine months and its purpose is to help innovative young technology companies in London understand and address the key issues they face as they develop their products for a global market, forge relationships with larger corporate partners and attract the funding they need. The Competition culminates in the announcement of the overall winner of the Grand Prix, at an Awards Ceremony and Reception, attended by some 200 representatives of major corporates, investors and government as well as entrepreneurs, academics and professionals.
