Startups
In the March/April 2025 issue of Startups Magazine, we introduced four startups that we believe are the ones to watch in the deeptech space.
Humanoid robots. Whether you love them, or they send a shiver down your spine, they are here to stay. With the release of multiple humanoids from big tech companies, from Tesla’s Optimus to Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, a whole host of startups are coming to the forefront of the humanoid revolution. With faster decision making, and a faster time to market, startups are well-placed to lead the rise of humanoids.
Imagine being able to control your smart home with a small twitch of your jaw, or being able to control a fighter jet with that same motion. But there’s no longer a need to just imagine. This technology exists, and it’s connecting more people to technology than ever before, thanks to startup Naqi Logix.
Amos Miller is the CEO and Co-Founder of Glidance, a startup that has developed Glide, the world’s first autonomous, self-guided mobility aid designed for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Owen Clater, an 18-year-old entrepreneur, is emerging as one of the UK’s youngest employers, as the Founder and CEO of Becks & Clates, a marketing and technology agency.
Sage and its partner Village Capital awarded six grants totalling $170,000 to select startups from the ‘Sage Impact Entrepreneurship Program’, powered by Sage Foundation. The grants were awarded at the Sage Impact Entrepreneurship Summit, a two-day event of learning and networking for the Core Cohort of the programme, which ran in Atlanta, USA, from 4-5th June 2025.

A cohort of patients suffering from the UK’s most common cause of sight loss have become the first in the world to successfully use a pioneering new technology which could help prevent and manage the development of eye diseases affecting millions of people.
COMPUTEX is one of the leading tech shows across the world, and this year saw the 10th anniversary of its startup section, InnoVEX. According to the event, InnoVEX saw its scale grow 12.5% over last year, with 450 startups from 24 countries exhibiting at this year’s event.
Growing data usage on mobile networks has led to a growing number of RF frequency bands, in turn creating more components and greater in size. In summary, the more frequency bands there are, the more fixed frequency filters that are required in mobile radio front ends.
Robotics startup BOW’s name may seem quite evocative – ‘Bettering Our World’ – but it speaks to a broader mission of recognising existing issues within the robotics industry and seeking to address these issues through its robotic-agnostic software development kit (SDK).
Two founders on a joint endeavour, sharing one vision; Apheros is a product of the innovative and entrepreneurial minds of Gaëlle Andreatta, and Julia Carpenter, Co-Founders and CEOs, who, alongside their team, are dead set on becoming the catalyst behind the transition to a sustainable future through materials innovation.
All the way back in our 2023 May/June issue, we had the pleasure to speak with CEO & Founder Nickolai Vysokov about his company, BrainPatch, who is pioneering an e-meditation device which delivers meditative, quickly calming, and stress-relieving sensations via small, non-invasive electrical currents to the brain.

From AI-powered platforms to climate-tech game changers, these startups are shaping the future – and taking centre stage at this year’s London Tech Week.
In the UK alone, millions of survivors of domestic abuse are left without the mental health support they urgently need. Long NHS waitlists, high return rates to crisis services, and a lack of trauma-informed resources leave survivors in limbo – often retraumatised by the very systems meant to help them heal.
Every year, the Hustle Awards champion the individuals, startups, and scaleups pushing the boundaries of innovation, resilience, and impact. The 2025 shortlist showcases the most forward-thinking founders, trailblazing technologies, and inspiring stories from across the startup landscape.
With over 55 million people currently living with dementia globally – a number expected to nearly double every 20 years – Oxford Brain Diagnostics’ patented Cortical Disarray Measurement (CDM) technology offers a breakthrough solution.
