Meet Neol Copper Technologies, this year’s winner of the MOVE 2026 Start-up Pitch Competition
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens when visionary start-ups, industry leaders, investors and policymakers come together to shape the future.
The MOVE 2026 start-up village once again showcased some of the most exciting emerging tech and solutions in the auto tech space. From AI-powered solutions and autonomous systems to electrification and connectivity, start-ups are bringing the ideas and technologies that will define the next generation of mobility.
This year we crowned another worthy winner, Neol Copper Technologies, the UK-based start-up who is reimagining technical lubricants. Neol Copper Technologies is questioning the industry accepted fact that vehicles inevitably wear and erode, providing innovative solutions to counter a massive hidden cost on the global economy.
We sat down with CEO Leyla Alieva to discuss what the award means to her and what’s next on the horizon at Neol Copper Technologies.
Her response couldn’t be clearer: “We are going to go out and sell lubricants. It’s as simple as that”.
