Innowise becomes finalist at the UK Business Tech Awards 2026

We are delighted to share that Innowise, together with Haust Labs, was named a finalist at the UK Business Tech Awards 2026 in the Fintech Solution of the Year category.

The UK Business Tech Awards celebrate startups, scaleups, investors, and organisations using technology to solve complex problems, transform industries, and create meaningful business impact.

Our nominated project, Haust Network: Blockchain Ecosystem Development with Layer 2 zk-Rollups, was created to make decentralised finance more accessible to everyday users.

Together with Haust Labs, we developed an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain ecosystem that brings key DeFi services into one place. The ecosystem includes a wallet, decentralised exchange, lending protocol, AI-powered assistant, and tools that help simplify transactions, asset management, and access to yield opportunities.

Although we did not take home the award this year, reaching the final is an important recognition for both teams.

It shows that our ambition to make DeFi feel less like complex infrastructure and more like a familiar financial application is resonating beyond the people directly involved in the project.

For Innowise, the nomination also reflects the value of combining deep blockchain expertise with a clear focus on real user needs. We are proud of what we have built with Haust Labs and grateful to the UK Business Tech Awards judges for recognising the project.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists who are helping shape the future of technology.
