Heatio, a Liverpool-based cleantech startup, has received double recognition in the North West final of the StartUp Awards.
According to a statement, the UK StartUp Awards was launched to recognise the start-up scene across the UK which has accelerated over the last few years with over 900,000 new businesses founded in the UK in 2023, a 12% increase from the year before.
Over 900 businesses have been shortlisted for this year’s UK StartUp Awards and the contribution of these firms is significant, it noted, having created nearly 6,000 new jobs since they were established and generating annual sales of £480m.
Heatio has been nominated in the Cleantech StartUp of the Year and the Equity-Backed StartUp of the Year categories.
Simon Roberts, chief executive of Heatio, said: “To be shortlisted once in such a distinguished event such as the StartUp Awards is fantastic but to be shortlisted twice is an honour and very humbling.
“We were delighted to win North West Start Up of the Year last year, so to receive such recognition again this year is a testament to the continued hard work and passion of the whole Heatio team who are all dedicated to improving accessibility and incentivising the adoption of low-carbon technology in UK homes.”
