Four Bristol-based tech companies have secured grants from the government-backed Innovate UK to grow their businesses.
AirGiants, Mach D Trading, SpatialCortex and PyTerra are among the 233 “trailblazing” award winners who will share a funding pot of £6.2 million.

Mach D Trading is working on an easy-to-use crypto trading platform which makes crypto currency trading safe for everyone.
SpatialCortex has developed novel wearable sensors that attach to workwear, along with AI analytics to help workplaces precisely understand ergonomic risks faced by staff in real operational environments.
