Corporate Vision nearly £25 million in funding raised to date, including a recently closed £16 million investment round, the company is on track to launch its first-generation product, the FFM51010 in 2026. Forefront RF combines award winning research with the expertise of industry professionals to drive its innovation and steer the market towards more streamlined, optimised technology.

In addition to saving space, Forefront RF’s innovation comes with many other benefits including: • Lower manufacturing costs by mitigating the need for multiple model variants • Frequency agnostic capabilities that deliver component longevity • Streamlined supply chain for greater efficiency and less waste • Higher profit margins through cost-effective and efficient processes.

The Foretune™ technology is an exceptionally inventive product that combines efficiency and flexibility into one optimal package. The technology allows for more innovation within the market at little cost to the environment due to its unique approach. Sustainable, streamlined, and simplified, Foretune™ is a remarkable demonstration of Forefront RF’s ability to successfully understand and meet the markets diverse and rapidly evolving needs. Conclusively, Forefront RF has developed and implemented an effective tuneable duplexer that benefits both the industry and the greater community through its simplified and sustainable design. The company has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to streamlining and enhancing software defined radio architectures and has been successful in its endeavours drive innovation in wireless technologies. For its stringent dedication and significant contributions to the field, Forefront RF has been recognised as the Most Innovative Fabless Semiconductor Company 2024 – UK. At the Very Forefront of Radio Frequency Innovation In our fast-paced world of advancing technology, remaining on the very cutting-edge of innovation is crucial. This is especially true for businesses hoping to effectively navigate the dynamic landscape of the telecommunications industry. Here, we take a look at Forefront RF, a leading fabless semiconductor company that has been named in the 2024 Corporate Excellence Awards. As the marvellous capabilities of our smartphones expand and increase, so does our data usage. According to industry estimates global data generation in 2010 was just 2 zettabytes. Now, this figure has reached 120 zettabytes and is predicted to rise a further 150% by the end of 2025. 90% of this data is estimated to have been generated in the last two years. With IoT reaching maturity and 5G now mainstream, global data generation is projected to soar. In turn, the increasing data usage on our smartphones, smart watches and other connected devices is driving the demand for more spectrum and more frequency bands. More bands result in more fixed frequency filters in software defined radio systems, causing complexity and space challenges. Simultaneously, there is an increased demand for more powerful and compact smartphones with slicker designs and greater functionality. Fixed frequency filters are integral to the operability of all FDD wireless devices in their current format. They ensure that their built-in transmitters and receivers can send and receive signals simultaneously, whilst preventing selfinterference from compromising their efficiency. As new frequency bands are being introduced, the component count per device increases in line, which is untenable in the long term. It is crucial that providers work to reduce the size of the mobile radio front end to effectively address these concerns. Founded in 2020, Forefront RF is making waves in the telecommunications industry with the introduction of its patented ForetuneTM technology, which could be a game changer for software defined radio system design. The company’s innovation overcomes RF interference challenges (inerrant in all wireless devices) by leveraging self-interference cancellation techniques. Comparable to how noise-cancelling headphones neutralize background noise, ForetuneTM dynamically cancels all unwanted high frequency signals by adding inverted versions of those signals, enabling cleaner transmission and reception in mobile devices. This innovation forms the basis of a breakthrough multiband mobile radio front end module that has the capacity to dynamically self-configure according to available frequency bands, thus simplifying design architecture and reducing the number of fixed frequency components. Having built a reputation for its forward-thinking approach and innovative methodologies, Forefront RF is backed by a group of astute VC firms and individuals, including Octopus Ventures, Foresight Group, BGF, Cambridge Innovation Capital, as well as a number of Cambridge Angels.

2024 Corporate Excellence Awards | 11 Corporate Vision A firm operating according to four simple principles – Customer Priority, People Count, Operational Excellence, and Reputation Matters – Holloway Group, LLC ensures that its customers always come first, with its team close behind. The result is that the firm is setting a new gold standard when it comes to efficiency, effectiveness, and reliability in this space, cementing its legacy by always acting with integrity, doing what is right, and staying true to its word on every occasion. Nowhere are these traits better on display than through the company’s relationship team, with the individuals comprising this division serving as the ambassadors for the industry-high levels of professional development services strived for across this organisation. As company head Dr TJ Holloway explains: “We achieve excellence by maintaining high standards of rigour in our own education – working hard to stay up to date on the best modern practices. But mostly, we work from the heart. We count our clients’ success as our success.” Everyone may claim to be the best, but Holloway Group working from the heart means that, unlike most, it is able to back these claims up. Its distinction is experienced further across what the firm refers to as a ‘palpable’ internal culture, brought about given that the team here rarely work with a client only once, meaning that they are tasked with outdoing themselves time and again. Much of this repeat work can be attributed to TJ himself, an authentic leader who radiates honour and intelligence at every turn. It was renowned American memoirist and poet Maya Angelou who famously said: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Both TJ and Holloway Group more broadly embody this ethos on a daily basis, and once they choose to partner with this firm, clients feel valued, listened to, and truly understood, and these are three things that a price cannot be put on. It is this feeling, more so than anything else, that keeps people coming back. Of course, such an ethos would be wasted were it not for the quality of the services delivered as a result. Luckily for its clients, Holloway Group’s quality more than extends to the solutions it provides, with its distinction felt particularly strongly when it comes to leadership and the seminars TJ and co. present on the subject. Over the course of a nine-month programme that sees one seminar held every month, this MBA-calibre course nurtures self-leadership, as one cannot lead others without first leading themself. The best thing about these leadership seminars is that they not only teach leadership from a business standpoint, but they also go one step further and assess the topic holistically, so that the skills learnt bleed into clients’ personal lives as well – resulting in a lasting change. For TJ: “It’s great to see that people truly change. Participants become better managers, better leaders, better moms and dads...better people.” Focusing on leaders first, the results are demonstrable, measurable, permanent, and permeate throughout a business. Founded almost 15 years ago, Holloway Group, LLC is one of the leading independent professional development coaching firms in its region today, delivering an unrivalled suite of services across the US states of Maine and New Hampshire. Well aware that the business environment today favours quality over quantity, the firm likewise strives to be the best of its kind in this space, not the biggest. Led by a knowledgeable, kind-hearted team, Holloway Group has been named as the Best Professional Development Coaching Firm 2024 – Maine, and deservedly so. Professional Development Services Unlocking Full Potential Ultimately, TJ puts it best when he says: “My goal is to help leaders learn the art of self-awareness. Most people think they are selfaware but truly are not. They do self-awareness wrong and wind up as victims of imposter syndrome. I have a method for increasing self-awareness and providing tools to help leaders learn what they need to learn about themselves, before finding personal freedom and then becoming more capable of leading people.” With the strengths of this unique, encompassing method in tow, this professional development firm has proven itself to be more than deserving of a place in this feature. Moreover, with 2025 on the horizon, Holloway Group, LLC is set to start another new year in a strong position, working from the heart to serve as a beacon of positive transformation. This title reflects the quality of both the firm itself and its remarkable leader, and with Dr TJ Holloway at the helm, the possibilities for discerning growth seekers are endless.

Corporate Vision Corporate Vision Ei4Change is recognised globally for specialising in providing emotional intelligence training that is both accurate and practical. Whether through books, podcasts, or online courses, the Ei4Change team have a wealth of knowledge to share at every phase of a person’s emotional intelligence development, no matter what stage they are at in their career or life. “Our courses appeal to anyone looking to develop their skills in leadership, teamwork, communication, collaboration, stress management, mindfulness, critical thinking, and decisionmaking, to name a few,” says Robin. Ei4Change’s commitment to fostering emotional intelligence really transcends geographical boundaries with its range of 50 self-paced online courses being available to learners right across the globe. Its courses are the most comprehensive on the internet, and they are studied by over 500,000 learners in more than 200 countries. Whether the learner is part of a thriving business or an entrepreneurial startup business, or are an individual embarking on a journey of personal development, Ei4Change’s courses provide a transformative medium for enabling positive change in people’s lives and careers. “Our approach is not just about theoretical knowledge; it’s about practical application,” Robin tells us. “We understand the importance of bridging the gap between theory and practice, which is why our courses are designed with a pragmatic focus. By emphasising actionable strategies and real-world applications, we empower people to implement their newfound understanding of emotional intelligence, empowering themselves to create positive impact in all areas of life.” Emotional intelligence is an abstract set of skills that encompass a range of interpersonal and social skills that are difficult to define objectively, making it different to traditional education which mainly focuses on cognitive skills that involve logic and problem-solving. Many of the skills that contribute to emotional intelligence are learned implicitly through social interaction and observation, often requiring the individual to reflect on past experiences and adapt their approach over time. So, what goes on behind the scenes at Ei4Change? Robin shares, “Like every other company, the culture of Ei4Change acts as the foundation for success. It shapes morale, motivation, and collaboration with our team and with our clients, impacting everything from productivity to innovation. We pride ourselves on fostering open communication, recognising and rewarding contributions, and promoting a sense of purpose and belonging. Crucially, by embracing Ei4Change stands at the forefront of emotional intelligence training, offering an extensive array of accredited online courses and resources that are tailored towards empowering individuals and organisations worldwide. Incorporating the latest research findings in emotional intelligence, positive psychology, and neuroscience, Ei4Change strives to deliver training that remains relevant, insightful, and impactful. Now the company has been crowned as our Best Emotional Intelligence Coaching & Training Enterprise 2024, we speak to CEO Robin Hills to gain firsthand insight into its exceptional training offering. Empowering Your Emotional Management diversity and inclusion, we recognise the importance of the individual, irrespective of background and upbringing, which leads to a wider range of perspectives, a culture of creative problem-solving, and ultimately drives greater innovation.” The Ei4Change team have, in the last few years, observed rapid change in the world of online learning. While the company did have online emotional intelligence courses available before the pandemic, it was this time of isolation and uncertainty that drove it to make its courses even more accessible online as a vital resource for people. For this, Ei4change received multiple awards for its commitment to emotional intelligence. In early 2024, Robin Hills was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Advanced Studies (Psychology) from a Mexican University, having been nominated by an Indian company. Now, Ei4Change is taking a moment to celebrate being worthily named Best Emotional Intelligence Coaching & Training Enterprise 2024 in the Corporate Excellence Awards 2024. Looking towards the coming months and years, Ei4Change will be developing its business focus around emotional intelligence, with further online courses in development. Robin elaborates, “The challenge of getting emotional intelligence recognised as a core skill that underpins good business practice remains our key focus over the next few years. Many organisations still struggle to see the impact emotional intelligence has on areas like communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution. “We are continually looking to innovate in ways that mean that people can learn and develop these skills online, and so making emotional intelligence development accessible to a wider audience. This includes ways that we can positively incorporate artificial intelligence and gamification to make the learning experience more rewarding for everyone taking our courses.” To conclude our discussion with Robin, we ask him if he has any advice to share for others who are also looking to succeed within the emotional intelligence industry. He leaves us with some food for thought: “The world of work is constantly changing; we can turn chance encounters into career advantages by being proactive and open to new opportunities. Being receptive to happy accidents and serendipity can help us thrive.” He adds, “With the advances in artificial intelligence, the skills that will form the basis of the skills-based economy are those inherent human skills that cannot be replaced by AI. These include the ability to: make rational decisions and judgements based on ethics and values; be creative and innovate; be empathetic and care about others; and network and build authentic relationships. These are all key leadership skills based upon emotional intelligence.” Company: Ei4Change Contact: Robin Hills Email: robin@ei4change.com Website: www.ei4change.com

Staffed by innovators and fuelled by relentless ambition, it is a company that’s stayed consistently ahead of the curve and is realised that ambition in the form of practical products designed to solve real-world problems and has done plenty to earn Best IoT Lifecycle Management Platform 2024 – Sweden. RIoT Secure’s mission is to provide robust and comprehensive security solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) products. Their offering includes a comprehensive device lifecycle management platform that ensures the safety and efficiency of IoT devices by providing industry standard cryptographic technologies, a patented communication protocol through to network-agnostic communication modules. RIoT Secure tailors its solution to customer requirements focusing on IoT devices and their robustness, performance and optimisation of network connectivity, making them a prime example of a company that has dedicated itself to a specific purpose and truly innovated as a result. Among its industry peers, the company stands out through its commitment to innovation. No other company has dedicated itself as wholly to optimising the security and lifecycle of IoT devices in this way. Through separation of concerns, it has honed every facet of device security ensuring each device is independently robust and can function securely on its own in RIoT Secure’s hardware sandbox, allowing developers to focus on their product, while ensuring the utmost security. Owing to constant research and development, the team stays ahead of market trends, and this is part and parcel with the creative spirit that fuels it. A culture of creative problem-solving permeates the entire company. RIoT Secure celebrates a diverse range of voices and ideas, acknowledging that they are the key to innovation. “By combining innovative approaches with rigorous testing and validation, we ensure that our products not only meet but exceed industry standards, providing our clients with the highest level of security.” This forward-thinking atmosphere drove the company to adopt a remote team working with virtual communications much earlier than many other companies in a pre-pandemic businessscape. This allowed for a highly skilled workforce not limited by timezone or location. The need to address complex challenges demanded a variety of skillsets and inputs, and that intellectual diversity is an enduring strength of the company today. In return for its commitment and consistent excellence, RIoT Secure is keen to express the value it places on the team’s work. The company fosters this excellence by providing continuous learning and professional development opportunities. It aims to remain current, relevant, and dynamic, maintaining a healthy, supportive environment underpinned by seamless teamwork. In the run-up to opening the company to investments, the team has kept a low profile to mitigate external pressures as it developed the best possible series of products suitable for the market. Extensive market research provided the foundation for these efforts, aligning its offering with the needs of the target audience and implementing scaling strategies. RIoT Secure has pooled its resources into ensuring a user-friendly, secure product line that is attractive to investors. The company demonstrated the feasibility of the solution by collaborating with SAS Ground Service Handling, a leader in ground handling services for airlines, who lauded the product. “RIoT’s platform has been instrumental in securing SAS Ground Service Handling’s IoT infrastructure at the edge, providing the reliability and security to operate efficiently. RIoT’s innovative approach and patented communications protocol to reducing bandwidth has helped reduce operational costs significantly.” As a steward of a successful tech company, CEO Aaron Ardiri advises new innovators to “stay curious and committed to continuous learning.” He urges to “understand that IoT is vertical agnostic, meaning it can be applied in virtually any industry – from healthcare and manufacturing to transportation and smart cities.” He suggests focusing on specific industries to avoid become overwhelmed or not maintaining a specific mission statement. “As you establish your foothold in these initial verticals,” he continues, “you can gradually adapt and scale your solutions to other industries. This focused approach allows you to manage resources effectively and refine your offerings before expanding further.” As RIoT Secure continues development and crafts practical, investor, solution-friendly products, it will continue to demonstrate the resolve that has been instrumental to its mission. Component shortages, the pandemic, investment stagnation, and more challenges have threatened to undermine their work. It is thanks to the mutual commitment between the owners and its team, and a sustained belief in the company vision, that it is going strong today. Alongside its strength stands RIoT Secure’s creative vision. As Aaron says in closing, “we are poised to lead the industry with groundbreaking solutions, continually adapting to the constantly-evolving technological landscape. I can assure you that we will bever run out of ideas.” Contact: Aaron Ardiri Company: RIoT Secure Web Address: www.riotsecure.se
