We're excited to announce that Tekex is a hosting partner of the Isle of Man Innovation Challenge Drinks Reception, in collaboration with Digital Isle of Man.

This year, the global competition is focused on Health and Social Care. Events like these lay the foundations for conversations that are imperative to future development and change; they harbour new connections and initiatives that can make a real difference.

We're proud to be a part of the Innovation Challenge and look forward to building new connections, encouraging conversations and growing our ecosystem across the Crown Dependencies.

We're excited to share that our very own Ed Prow, founder of Tekex, recently featured on an episode of The M Word Podcast, led by Martin Hall.

He and Chris Sheldrick, co-founder of what3words, sat down with Martin to discuss business and the challenges that come with it, building ecosystems, advice for entrepreneurs, the power of branding and more.

We’re pleased to welcome Yoono as a partner of TEKEX.

Yoono is entering a significant growth phase, automating investigative-grade deep research for enhanced due diligence and forensic investigations, a category becoming increasingly critical as financial systems evolve and regulatory expectations tighten. Their work sits at the intersection of technology, trust, and accountability, making their perspective particularly valuable within the ecosystem.

For Yoono, this partnership is a deliberate move, not for visibility, but for proximity to founders building in complex, regulated environments, to investors prioritising substance over noise, and to businesses navigating the realities of scaling in fintech.

“Yoono is at a point where the problems we’re solving around forensic AML and financial integrity require us to be closer to both innovation and capital. TEKEX brings those worlds together in a practical, grounded way, which made the decision straightforward.”
Richard Tavernor, CEO, Yoono

TEKEX exists to connect capability with capital and support companies solving real problems with depth. Yoono’s focus on forensic-level AML, combined with a clear ambition to scale, aligns naturally with that.

“This partnership is about embedding ourselves in an ecosystem where meaningful work is happening, supporting founders, engaging with investors, and contributing to the wider fintech landscape as it evolves.”
Priya Dockerty, Head of Marketing, Yoono

This partnership is as much about contribution as it is about growth — supporting the startup community, engaging with investors, and strengthening the broader fintech ecosystem.

Looking forward to what comes from it.

What happens when ambitious founders, global innovators and forward-thinking businesses all come together in one room? Tekex #36 in Jersey.

Last week’s event at C5 Hub brought together another exceptional mix of people, ideas and conversations - all centred around innovation, collaboration and building momentum across the Channel Islands ecosystem.

A huge thank you to our speakers for sharing their journeys, insights and experiences:
Chris Sheldrick - What3Words
Jen Lothian - DataWollet
Richard Tavernor - Yoono
Fred Kalinke - Exactimo
Chris Lee - Own Homes
Rus Newton - Fairground

From scaling internationally recognised platforms to tackling real-world challenges through technology and entrepreneurship, the evening delivered honest conversations and valuable perspectives throughout.

One of the most rewarding parts of Tekex is seeing the quality of connections and discussions that continue long after the talks finish. The appetite for innovation across Jersey and the wider islands is growing rapidly - and events like this are helping bring the right people together to drive that forward.

Thank you as always to our partners Rathbones Investment Management International, BDO Jersey, BDO Limited - Guernsey, C5 Alliance Group, RED5 Systems, Yoono and Wild Peak for helping make these events possible, along with everyone working behind the scenes to deliver another brilliant evening.

We’re also proud that Tekex #36 supported Centrepoint through ticket sales - helping contribute towards the charity’s important work supporting young people facing homelessness and hardship.

The momentum around Tekex continues to grow with every event, every founder story and every new connection made.

Onwards to the next one.

Events like this reinforce something we strongly believe - when the right people come together, ideas move faster, connections deepen and real change happens.

The Isle of Man is building serious momentum as part of the wider Tekex network… and this is only the beginning.
