THE finalists for the inaugural Impact Summit competition, a Scottish showcase for startups having a positive impact on the world, have been announced - where the winner will receive a business support package worth over £20,000 from The Herald, FutureX and ParlayMe. Judges selected Bara Wahbeh (AKYAS Sanitation), Jenifer Clausell-Tormos (Develop Diverse), Barry Leaper (LiberEat) and Dr Faisal Ghani (SolarisKit) to progress from the semi-finals, which took place virtually over March 29 and 30. The overall winner of the Impact Summit Competition will receive a fully funded place on FutureX's Silicon Valley programme, from which previous cohorts have met with executives from Airbnb, Facebook, SurveyMonkey, Y Combinator, Waze, and Threshold.
