Tech Nation pegs Hyper Group as rising star

AI and data science venture Hyper Group is one of five Yorkshire regional winners for the Tech Nation Rising Stars 3.0 competition, alongside Beaconsoft, Bombyx PLM, Hyper, Cognito Learning and Klaxon.

Five winners for each region and nation across the UK have been selected by a panel of industry experts.

The competition culminates in the top 20 early stage tech companies being showcased online and promoted to an 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. These will be revealed in February.

Esme Caulfield, Competitions Lead, Tech Nation, comments: “Everyone knows that 2020 is a challenging year. We're honoured that so many companies took the time to apply for Rising Stars 3.0 and are truly excited about the calibre of our regional winners.”

Hyper enables retailers to use AI and data science to improve marketing, merchandising and supply chain performance. 

Peter Denby, Co-founder and Director, comments: “We're proud to be recognised as a Rising Stars regional winner for Yorkshire.”

“Rising Stars is such a prestigious competition for scaling businesses. Our achievement is recognition of the value we're delivering to clients through the hard work and talent of our team”
