We’re pleased to announce that two of our tenants and their organisations have been shortlisted for the 2025 Cherwell Business Awards, taking place on Friday, 19 September.
Vassilis Ragoussis, Managing Director at OXECO, has been nominated for Business Person of the Year.
Dr Bryan Ng, Founder and CEO of Repolywise, has been nominated for Young Business Person of the Year.
And both OXECO and Repolywise have been nominated for the Innovation Award!
Reflecting on the news, Vassilis Ragoussis said:
“It means a huge amount to be nominated and selected – I am proud to represent OXECO and the hard work, dedication, and late nights that we have invested in our vision. I am excited for the journey ahead as we continue delivering our chemistry into the hands of the world’s greatest innovators and manufacturers.”
Speaking about his nominations, Dr Bryan Ng, stated:
“Repolywise and I are so honoured to be selected as finalists for the Innovation Award and the Young Business Award. I am proud to be recognised for my enthusiasm for understandable scientific entrepreneurship, mostly via the popularity of the phrase Atomic Scissors!”
Director of Begbroke Science Park, Elaine Walder, commented:
“I’m absolutely thrilled to see Vas, Bryan, Repolywise and OXECO recognised for their exceptional achievements and hard work. I wish them all the best for the night. Their success is a testament to the thriving innovation ecosystem we’re building here at Oxford University Science Park, Begbroke.”
