For the female-led startup award, phas3 pitched for 3 minutes to a judging panel. For the startup of the year award, pitching took place as part of the UCL Santander Summer Showcase event – alongside two other finalists, phas3 pitched for 2 minutes to an audience of UCL students and staff, and the public. The winner was then chosen by audience vote. The Summer Showcase event culminated in a prize-giving ceremony.

Overall, it was a fantastic and inspiring event for the startup community and phas3 thanks the UCL Innovation & Enterprise team for all the hard work they put into arranging it.
