Tech Nation have announced that applications for Rising Stars 4.0 are now open.

Applications close on 20 October 2021.

Rising Stars 4.0 is the UK’s only truly national scaleup competition, designed to be accessible to the best early-stage tech companies from all areas of the country.

Entrants are supported throughout the application process, and given training and support at each stage of the competition to enable you to compete to your best ability and deliver the  perfect pitch.

The competition culminates in the top 20 companies being showcased and promoted to a highly curated audience of investors, corporates, influencers and the wider tech ecosystem. The judging panel will then deliberate over the final 20, selecting 10 companies to be named as this year’s Rising Stars, who will feature in a high-profile celebration event on 24 March 2022.

Tech Nation are running two live Q&A sessions with Rising Stars lead, Esme Caulfield. Tune in for further insight into the competition, what’s required and what you can expect as part of the process. You’ll also have chance to ask any specific questions you have.
