We are absolutely delighted to announce that European Innovation has been selected as a finalist for the Best Small Business award at the Shropshire Chamber Business Awards 2026.
This recognition is a wonderful endorsement of the work delivered every day from The Quad in Telford — supporting startups through mentorship, helping international entrepreneurs settle and scale in the UK, and championing the founders and businesses who are shaping our region’s economy. To be shortlisted in such a competitive category, alongside some of Shropshire’s most ambitious small businesses, is both humbling and energising.
The 2026 awards carry the theme “Celebrating Excellence, Inspiring Tomorrow” — a sentiment that sits at the heart of everything European Innovation stands for. From Business Gym mentoring, to Innovate Telford and Startup Telford, to our High Growth Accelerator programmes, our mission has always been to turn ideas into reality and back the people building what comes next.
The awards ceremony will take place on Friday, 19th June 2026, bringing together finalists from across Shropshire to celebrate the people and businesses driving the county’s enterprise landscape forward.
This nomination belongs to our entire team, our partners, and every founder and business who chooses to grow with us. Thank you for being part of the journey.

Congratulations to all the 2026 finalists — and best of luck on awards night! 🏆
