Mindflair said one of its portfolio companies, Disseqt AI, has won the Irish leg of KPMG’s Global Tech Innovator competition for 2026.
The AIM-quoted AI investor said Disseqt, in which it holds an interest through Sure Valley Ventures’ third fund, would represent Ireland at the competition’s global final at the Web Summit in Lisbon in November, against national winners from 20 other countries.
Disseqt runs an “AI assurance” platform that helps businesses test and monitor their AI systems, apply operational guardrails and comply with emerging standards such as the EU’s AI Act. Mindflair has built a portfolio of more than 30 AI-focused companies.
Nicholas Lee, Director of Mindflair plc, said: “We are pleased to see Disseqt named as Ireland’s winner of the KPMG Global Tech Innovator competition. This recognition highlights the company’s progress in helping enterprises deploy and operate AI safely and reliably. Participation in the global final provides an important opportunity to showcase its technology internationally and build relationships to support its growth ambitions.”
Mindflair has around 30 AI-related portfolio companies and has achieved several exits. Yet Mindflair only trades at a market cap of £1.9m.
