Venturefest Oxford 2010, one of the country’s key investment and innovation events, is kicking off its annual programme with a search to discover the best new technologies emerging from the UK this year.

Best of British Innovation 2010 is part of Venturefest’s annual technology showcase, which showcases future technologies being developed in the UK, and their commercial applications.

The competition will identify three of the most progressive technology businesses, showcasing them to the UK’s foremost investors, innovators and entrepreneurs at the prestigious 2010 event, held this year at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford on June 22.

The competition is open to all UK-based companies, whatever their size. Innovations can cover any area from communications to computer hardware, pharmaceuticals to renewable energy. As well as brand new technologies with a planned launch in 2010, the competition is also open to products currently in development, which aim to go to market within the next 18 months, or a new or refined version of an existing technology.

A panel of judges, comprising business leaders, entrepreneurs, technology experts and financiers will determine three winners for the competition. The closing date for entries is May 21, and winners will be informed by June 4.
