Portfolio companies receive industry recognition

Mindflair plc, the AIM-quoted company focused on investing in Artificial Intelligence ("AI") related technology, is pleased to provide an update on recent industry recognition received by three portfolio companies.

Disseqt AI - NVIDIA Open Models Codefest EMEA

Disseqt AI has been selected as one of five finalists from over 500 companies for NVIDIA's Open Models Codefest EMEA, with the final taking place in Berlin on 20 October 2026. Working with NVIDIA mentors and T-Systems, Disseqt AI has developed a sovereign AI solution for public-sector services, integrating its AI assurance and compliance technology with NVIDIA's AI models. In testing, the solution identified correct source information in 97% of cases while maintaining data sovereignty.

Stylus - Onstage W26 Top 100

Stylus, which is developing an AI marking service for handwritten student work, has been selected for the Onstage W26 Top 100. Stylus is one of 100 companies from 1,350 applicants, as voted for by Onstage's venture capital partners.

Vizgard - Beauhurst Top 100 UK Defence Tech Companies 2026

Vizgard, a developer of AI and computer vision technology for defence and security applications, has been included in Beauhurst's Top 100 UK Defence Tech Companies 2026. Beauhurst's list ranks UK-headquartered defence technology businesses by the total equity funding recorded as having been raised, rather than by revenue, market share or commercial performance.

These achievements reflect the breadth of Mindflair's AI-focused investment portfolio, encompassing trusted AI deployment, educational technology and defence applications.

Nicholas Lee, Director of Mindflair plc, commented:

"We are pleased to see the recent industry recognition of three of our portfolio companies - Disseqt's in sovereign and assured AI, Stylus's selection by venture capital partners and Vizgard's inclusion in Beauhurst's defence technology rankings. We look forward to following their continued development."
