Oxford Innovation Space wins Readers’ Choice accolade at the Hustle Awards 2025

We’re delighted to announce that Oxford Innovation Space has been honoured with the Readers’ Choice Award at the 2025 Hustle Awards – recognising the outstanding impact of our 31 innovation centres across the UK and Ireland.

Hosted by Startups Magazine, the national Hustle Awards recognise the exceptional achievements of individuals, companies and innovators working in, or supporting, the tech startup industry. The Readers’ Choice Award holds special significance, as it is entirely voted for by the public – making it a true reflection of the trust, appreciation, and support from the startup community.

At Oxford Innovation Space, we work every day to provide the environment, expertise, and support that startups and scaleups need to thrive. We’re proud of the positive impact our centres have had over the last 35 years, in terms of supporting early-stage businesses to innovate, evolve and scale. In turn, helping them to create jobs, drive economic growth and bring pioneering technologies to the world.

“We’re incredibly proud to receive this award,” said Jo Stevens, Managing Director at Oxford Innovation Space. “It’s a huge honour because it comes directly from the businesses, partners, and communities we work with every day. This recognition is a testament to the energy and ambition of our network – we’re so grateful to everyone who voted.”
