The first ever Asian Founders Awards being held in Leicester in 2026 is now open for nominations.
Asian Founders began in Leicester as a Barclays Eagle Labs and De Montfort University initiative in 2023, and has since expanded to 10 cities and connected more than 1,000 founders across the UK.
The Asian Founders Awards will take place on the 11th September. Barclays Eagles Labs Ecosystem Manager Poonam Sharma said:
“At its core this has always been about people. Getting the right people in the room, the builders, the doers, the ones quietly creating something meaningful without the spotlight they deserve. So now it’s over to you. Nominate yourself. Nominate a business. Nominate someone you genuinely think deserves to be seen.”
