Alex Portera’s Post

A great example of how companies are raising from new sources of capital and the importance of telling a compelling story. Almost everyone knows someone who has been impacted by cancer, and there is a strong emotional tie to the topic. Not only is Epi One working towards solving this issue by identifying cancer earlier, but they're allowing the real stakeholders, those who've been affected, to support the company by investing and share in their future success. Great work by Michael Marquardt to lead such a great initiative, and to Alex Portera and the team at Rally On Media to help communicate such a compelling story.

As a company working on property, developments and construction in the UK's tech scene, I'm thrilled for Science Creates on their recent success and announcements, especially for the companies nurtured by their hubs. With the UK's landscape changing and more incubators, labs and start-up space becoming available or on the development agenda for our clients, you would think that the UK can be at the forefront of fostering innovative solutions in technology. Quartz Project Services is a massive supporter of this sector. The companies working in these incubators not only optimise operations but also contribute significantly to environmental sustainability. It's an exciting era where technology intersects with property and infrastructure, leading to transformative outcomes for professionals in the field. It's a sector we have a great understanding in and can see this being a key contributor to property and development over the next 5 - 10 years.
