Jake Biele receives Young Innovators award from UKRI

31 January 2023

Many congratulations to Jake Biele, one of our QECDT Alumni. He receives 22/23 Young Innovators award from UKRI.

Jake is currently building a prototype device, funded by Innovate UK’s Fast Start grant. He aims to launch his first product in 2024.

“The Young Innovators Award is a formal recognition of the hard work and self-belief I have had to rely on to launch a deep tech startup. Everything I’ve learnt so far about launching a business has been self-taught or from the goodwill of other entrepreneurs,” Jake says.

“I’m looking forward to gaining access to tailored commercial and strategic advice from a mentor that has considerable experience in industry.”
