Yesterday, we were proud to participate as a supporting promoter in Growth Unleashed at The Mansion House, an event created to support the Lord Mayor’s vision of ‘Growth Unleashed’ for 2025. This exclusive gathering organised by the WCIT Entrepreneurship Panel brought together over 200 senior figures from pensions, banking, investment, insurance, and professional services, all keen to explore the transformative role of technology in unlocking economic growth.

Technology is one of the UK’s greatest strengths, driving forward innovation and shaping the industries of tomorrow. Growth Unleashed provided a unique platform for some of the country’s most promising technology companies to pitch their vision to an influential City audience, fostering the connections that will help fuel their next stage of growth, either through further investment or gaining new customers.

A Platform for Breakthrough Innovation

Three of Amadeus’ deep tech portfolio companies—Xampla, V7 Labs, and Unlikely AI—took to the stage, each presenting their cutting-edge solutions to a room filled with investors and business leaders. Each of these companies is tackling significant global challenges, demonstrating how UK innovation is driving change on a global scale.

  • Xampla, represented by CEO Alexandra French, is pioneering natural alternatives to plastics, developing biodegradable materials that offer high-performance solutions to directly replace plastic packaging. As the world looks for sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics, Xampla’s technology is well-positioned to make a lasting impact. Alexandra also teased at some very exciting customer announcements for the coming months during her presentation.
  • V7 Labs, with CEO Alberto Rizzoli at the helm, is revolutionising AI-driven image and video data labelling. By enabling companies to train AI models with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency, V7 is helping industries from healthcare to financial services build better, more reliable AI applications.
  • Unlikely AI, led by CEO William Tunstall-Pedoe, is reimagining artificial intelligence. With a track record that includes creating the technology behind Amazon Alexa, William is now building AI that tackles the issues of “hallucination”, accuracy and trust. The platform William and his team is creating offers hallucination-free, auditable and trustworthy AI for regulated industries such as finance and healthcare.

Connecting Ambition with Capital

As a Supporting Promoter of the event, we were thrilled to see an exchange of ideas between technology innovators and City leaders. The UK’s deep tech ecosystem thrives when ambitious entrepreneurs have access to the right funding and networks to scale their businesses globally. Events like Growth Unleashed play a crucial role in bridging that gap, ensuring that the trailblazers behind transformational technology can secure the investment and support they need to reach their full potential.

With the UK poised to lead in deep tech, AI, and sustainability, the conversations that took place at Mansion House will undoubtedly drive further collaboration and innovation. We look forward to seeing how the relationships formed yesterday will translate into tangible growth for the companies that took part and the UK economy.
