"Without Bridgehead we would have not made contact with key players in the UK market, in addition to the preparation for growth in the U.S. The programme has given greater credibility to our product offering and we have been in contact with senior officials in organisations we would have not known existed."
Mike Redford, CEO, Add Movement AB
Bridgehead Start-up
“If there is one programme you should apply for in Europe, it’s definitely Catapult. The training was far beyond any programme I had been in before. But the most important is the reputation, as after winning the competition, several funds reached out to me.”
