The South's best innovator? We'll take that.

We're over the moon to share that Labl.it has won the Innovator of the Year Award at #VFS22 - Venturefest South's annual Festival of Innovation.

Around 1,000 visitors attended the region's biggest innovation showcase at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton, with innovators, start-ups and small businesses given a platform at an event where over £1 billion of opportunities were on offer from VFS partners through support, funding and investment. Over 50 innovators entered the £10,000 Battle of the Pitches competition, and the standard across the board was seriously impressive.

The Innovator of the Year award went to Labl.it, and we're still a little pinch-ourselves about it.

Who are we?

Labl.it is the all-in-one food label printer built for commercial kitchens. Our device aims to replace the industry-standard handwritten paper labels, making stock control in the hospitality industry quicker, more sustainable, and safer. With 3-click printing, full EHO and Natasha's Law compliance baked in, and a setup time of minutes, it's everything kitchens need and nothing they don't.

What this means to us

Venturefest South exists to connect and celebrate the South's most ambitious innovators - and being named the best among them this year is something we won't forget in a hurry. Since the award, we've continued to grow our product offering, and this recognition has only motivated us to push further.

To everyone who came and saw us at VFS22 - thank you. And if you're yet to discover Labl.it, there's no better time. Find out more with a demo.
