We are delighted to announce that EMV Capital has been recognised as ‘One to Watch’ in the VC Firm of the Year category at the Growth Investor Awards 2025, placing us among the leading UK-based venture investment firms driving meaningful impact.
The Growth Investor Awards celebrate the role of the UK SME investment community in job and wealth creation, from those providing or sourcing investment, to those helping optimise growth capital to scale. They recognise achievements not only in driving growth and delivering returns, but also in tackling real-world challenges, from accelerating the net-zero transition to improving access to life-saving technologies.
This acknowledgement reflects our continued commitment to investing in the technologies that will define the future, securing new sources of long-term capital, and actively supporting UK companies to scale and succeed.
Working with our investor community, EMV Capital backs the vision and invests in the execution of the ambitious founders and CEOs leading our portfolio companies. From Cambridge to Edinburgh, Bristol to Belfast, the UK has a globally leading innovation system, producing high-impact deep tech and life sciences companies. We help them grow and internationalise in a capital-efficient manner – and drive sustainable investor returns.
Dr Ilian Iliev, CEO of EMV Capital, commented:
“We are proud to be recognised at the Growth Investor Awards. It is a testament to the dedication of our team, our portfolio founders, and our partners. Our mission has always been to ensure that brilliant ideas and ambitious founders have access to the capital, knowledge, and networks they need to scale. There is exceptional innovation happening across the UK’s regions, and we are committed to keep championing it.
“We look forward to building on this momentum by driving growth, exits, and value creation through our integrated platform and continuing to contribute to the UK innovation ecosystem.”
