Six of those businesses came away with wins in their categories:
Each of these companies represents the ambition, innovation and resilience we see every day across our community. Their success is a reflection of the hard work they put in, and we’re proud to have been part of their journey.
While Pwlltec and 42able didn’t win their categories this time, being shortlisted in competitive sectors like Cleantech and AI is a huge achievement in itself. We know the impact these companies are making, and we’re excited to continue supporting their progress.
These businesses are testament to the thriving, innovative ecosystem we’ve built here at M-SParc. Our mission has always been to support the growth of transformative ideas, and seeing them make their mark at the Wales StartUp Awards reinforces the impact of the work we’re doing. North Wales is bursting with talent, and we’re excited to continue nurturing it.
Pryderi ap Rhisiart, M-SParc Managing Director
Before the awards, we hosted a mixer at The Botanist in Cardiff, bringing together our North Wales ecosystem for an evening of networking, conversation and connection. It was a chance to reflect on what we’ve built together and look ahead to what’s coming next.
We’re thrilled to see such a diverse range of businesses making waves in their respective sectors. Many of yesterday’s nominees were part of last year’s Level Up accelerator programme cohort, and have benefited from our grants and support, and it’s great to see the fruits of their labour rewarded on the national stage. If you’d like to be our next success story, get in touch!
Lois Bevan Shaw, M-SParc’s Business Support Manager
The Wales StartUp Awards showed once again that the future of innovation in Wales is bright, and that North Wales is playing a leading role in shaping it. We’re proud of every business that took part, and we’ll keep doing all we can to help them grow.
M-SParc have a number of new programmes and grant opportunitites launching over the summer, including the launch of our 2025 Level Up accelerator in July; for further information and to be a part of our movement; contact Lois.

Tom used to work at the KFC in his hometown of Colwyn Bay before it mysteriously burned down. He then spent several years “on the lam” in East Germany, where he worked as an animator in Berlin. When the wall fell, Tom came home.
He enjoys climbing and hates ice-skating.
