📈 TPXimpact H1 2024 Update 🚀 I am pleased to announce our strong first-half performance. Notably, a 22% YoY revenue growth and an EBITDA margin approaching 5%, reflecting substantial progress from FY23. We remain well on track to achieve our full year targets of 15-20% like-for-like revenue growth and a 5-6% EBITDA margin. Our recent contract wins with His Majesty’s Land Registry (£49m) and the Department for Education (£27.5m) underscore our robust capabilities in Digital Transformation. At the same time,, our Digital Experience business continues to improve the connections between organisations and the public, as evidenced by our award-winning work with the Zoological Society of London and our impressive work with Breast Cancer Now to support their mission to eradicate breast cancer.  We have made excellent progress in advancing our 3-year strategy to simplify the wider business and invest in creating our exciting Digital Transformation and Digital Experience businesses as the core platforms for future growth. I would like to thank our dedicated teams whose hard work and commitment have been instrumental in achieving these outstanding results.

What could you do with additional 15 days for preparing the #EICaccelerator application? Before going to things you might do, let's say what you shouldn't do. DON'T RELAX AND PROCRASTINATE FINISHING THE APPLICATION! Instead, finish the application before the original submission date and than work on it, polish it and fine tune it. If you apply to a challenge call, you can go back to Challenge info day recording and check the alignment of you proposal with specific objectives of the challenge. You can also work on your pitch. Learn from Steve Prefontaine's wisdom, 'If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail' #NovelTechnologiesForResilientAgriculture Johannes Bünz Juliana Hauser Robert Casals
