Sheffield-based Iceotope Wins Techworld's Startup Product of the Year

Iceotope’s liquid cooling system, capable of providing 24/7 free cooling anywhere on the planet, is recognised for its impact on the IT industry

17th September 2012 - Iceotope is proud to announce that its liquid cooling solution has been named ‘Startup Product of the Year’ at this year’s Techworld Awards – an accolade determined by an esteemed panel of judges including key members the IT press, industry analysts and experts.

Rewarding all sectors within the IT industry, the Techworld Awards honoured companies, teams and projects across 11 separate categories at the awards ceremony last week. Guests gathered at Dartmouth House, Mayfair, London on Thursday 13th September to celebrate their achievements and the participants represented the very best and most innovative cases within the IT industry today.

This award acknowledges Iceotope’s innovative liquid cooling system, launched earlier in the year, which can provide full-time free cooling for IT anywhere on the planet. Techworld’s ‘Startup Product of the Year’ award is given to ‘the best and the brightest innovators’ and is intended to predict the products and services which will most impact the IT industry in the future and business practices in general.

Iceotope was recognised not only for its current application within the IT industry, but also its capability to address some of the most pressing issues expected to arise in the future – including IT’s rising energy usage, the spiralling costs of running a data centre and the need to find sustainable IT solutions.


“We are thrilled with this win for our cooling solution – years of research and development have been involved, and we have had fantastic support from organisations like 3M™ and the University of Leeds throughout. It’s great to see this hard work being rewarded and knowing that truly innovative and disrupting technology still gets the recognition it deserves,” commented Peter Hopton, CTO at Iceotope.
