Arcube and ImpersonAlly are the winners of this year’s TravelTech Show Trailblazer Awards 2026, which took place this morning after a fierce ‘Dragons’ Den’-style showcase of travel technology innovation.
Based in Manchester, Arcube is a travel technology platform that gives airlines access to more than 16 complementary products through a single integration.
“We help travel companies sell travel extras, things like lounges, eSIMs and car rentals, in a much easier way. They don’t have to spend years building them themselves. Instead, they could do it in weeks and generate a new revenue stream,” said Prithveesh Reddy, CEO of Arcube.
When asked what the win will mean for his company, Reddy said, “This win will bring us a lot of revenue from potential partners looking to use our technology, but it’s also great to speak to some of the investors in the room. As we continue to scale, we will need growth capital, and recognition from an institution like this represents a big step in the travel industry.”
Arcube wins the following:
A free stand at TravelTech Show 2027
A starting ticket for Phocuswright Conference Europe 2027
A speaking opportunity at the TravelTech Show 2027 Start-up panel
Guidance and mentorship of the jury members
