UK Startups: Win a stand at FOWA ’08 with Sun

As I was checking out this show’s details today, I got a tweet fromStewart TownsendofSun Microsystems– he’sjust announced a competitionfor UK startups to win an exhibition package worth £2500 with a stand in the Expo Space – Start Up Community, a delegate pass, an expo pass and a listing on the FOWA site. Nice.

Even if you’re not a winner in the competition, the Sun Startup Essentials programme has some really nice features, such as technical support, special discounts on Sun hardware, PR opportunities, invitations to special networking events, special offers, and introductions to VCs/Angel Funds. The eleigibility is fairly flexible too – if you’re a UK business trading for less than six years, and have fewer than 150 employees – you’re a startup. Given all this comes at no cost, it’s certainly worthtaking a closer look.

All you need to do to have the chance to win the free FOWA Expo Stand & Delegate Package (sorry, eleigible only if you are a UK startup) is to join theSun Startup Essential Programme(and use the tracking code FOWA08) and do it soon – the draw for this great prize will take place on the 22nd of September, with the winner announced the very next day – and of course, we’ll keep youinformed here at The Next Webas to who the lucky winner is.

Giving away a free stand and delegate places for an important event like FOMA08 is a great way to support cash-strapped startups who are hungry for exposure in the UK – well done, Sun.
