RCA start-ups exporting for growth
Squease Ltd and KwickScreen have been named as two of the ten finalists in the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) Export for Growth Prize earlier this month. The UKTI prize is intended to find the best innovative companies with exporting ideas that are ready to become successful international opportunities.

Squease is a social enterprise, set up by a group of RCA graduates to develop garments to alleviate the symptoms of autistic spectrum disorder. The award-winning project began in the Royal College of Art's Innovation Design Engineering programme and is supported by the RCA's business incubator.

KwickScreen has developed a versatile portable room divider which is used in many environments including hospitals. Winner of many awards, KwickScreen, is supported by the RCA's business Incubator.

Good luck to both ventures in the final on 8 March!
