The Interceltic Business Forum took place in Lorient, France, on August 4th. This vibrant event aimed to celebrate businesses from the Celtic regions, while also providing a platform for networking opportunities for those from outside these areas. The award we received was evaluated by a jury of 15 experts who considered various criteria, including innovation, scalability, market potential, and overall alignment with the Forum’s mission of fostering connection and collaboration.
At Hertzian, we see this award as a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and our dedication to connecting with like-minded individuals and communities. We believe that collaboration is key to driving progress, and this recognition inspires us to continue our journey with renewed passion. 💪
A big thank you to the event organisers and everyone we met at the Forum for creating an engaging and inspiring atmosphere. It truly was a wonderful experience, and we’re excited to build upon the connections we made. And of course, a special thank you to Charles KERGARAVAT, founder of the Interceltic Business Forum and its partners. Without your commitment and vision in bringing together such a vibrant community of businesses, this would be nothing 🙏

This recognition was presented at the Interceltic Business Forum on August 4th in Lorient, France, as part of the Interceltic Startup Challenge 2025.
Hertzian is well-known for its innovative platform "PlayerXP," which uses AI to collect and organise community feedback for video game developers.

The Interceltic Startup Challenge featured six Celtic businesses, each representing its home region and competing to demonstrate innovation, market potential, and scalability.
"I'm a huge advocate for exporting Cornwall's amazing products and services nationally and globally," said Christopher Weavill, CEO of Hertzian. "It's been a real privilege to be part of this group and submit Hertzian as both a regional winner for Cornwall and now a Celtic winner. The benefits from the award are great, but the real value is with the people."
Hertzian is honoured to receive this award, which reflects its commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation while representing Cornwall’s vibrant business landscape. The company thanks Charles Kergaravat and the Interceltic Business Forum for their visionary leadership. Hertzian looks forward to continuing its mission of transforming how the world views artificial intelligence and developing products that make a meaningful difference.

In a world that increasingly prioritises renewable energy, the role of community engagement has never been more crucial. As we navigate the transition toward greener energy sources, the need for transparent and effective communication with local communities is paramount. This is precisely why the recent partnership between Hertzian and Celtic Sea Power has ignited excitement across Cornwall and beyond.
We at PlayerXP are proud to announce the release of Version 3.1 (Beta) of our signature PlayerXP Dashboard! This update brings a brand new, more modern design alongside a number of optimisations that improve performance and the overall user experience.
Hertzian has been granted the pleasure to represent the entirety of Cornwall at the upcoming Interceltic Business Awards, which is being held in Lorient, France, on August 4th. At this event, our CEO, Christopher Weavill, will be giving a presentation showcasing everything that Hertzian is capable of, with the goal of showing how we stand out from the crowd.
