FutureX has partnered with the STV Growth Fund, a £5 million fund designed to make it easier for ambitious and innovative companies to benefit from STV’s reach.

Through this partnership, STV has committed £100,000 of TV advertising space to the winner of FutureX’s ambitious Startup Summit competition. Reaching 87% of the Scottish population each month, the advertising space offered by STV will be an invaluable tool for the winning startup, with the prize designed to greatly accelerate the growth of the business.

Winners will also benefit from $120,000 worth of IBM Cloud Credits, a £1,500 recruitment package from Adopt An Intern and a free consultation with Johnston Carmichael.
