Shanklin-based AI company Innovative Physics has been shortlisted for a brace of prestigious industry awards.
The company has been shortlisted in both the Tech Company of the Year category of the National Technology Awards and in the Business & Product Innovation Awards category in the South East regional finals of the Federation of Small Business (FSB) Celebrating Small Business Awards.
The finals of the National Technology Awards which celebrate the UK pioneers of technology will be held on 7th May at London Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square, while the FSB awards will take place at Hickstead International Showground, Haywards Heath on 26th March.
Underpinning Innovative Physics’ shortlisting in both awards is the company’s pioneering innovation in AI technology to assist sectors including cancer detection, homeland security and nuclear decontamination.
Based at Landguard Manor and with around a dozen employees, the company has at the heart of its success strong links with market contacts and government departments in 35 countries across the world.
It is now an industry leader in sensor technology, artificial intelligence and pattern recognition renowned for providing effective solutions to complex science and engineering problems. It is also no stranger to awards success having previously scooped a series of acknowledgements from bodies including the Institute of Physics, and the British Business Excellence Awards

Recent innovations in AI technology include the development of a ‘black box’ system to help clinicians and consultants detect and classify tumours to help determine cancer treatment plans. The company has also developed its Hot Spot Locator – a gamma-ray imaging system allowing users to quickly and accurately locate hotspots of radioactive contamination to minimise the time that people are exposed to radiation.
