KTP Top 50 Award 

Guildhawk and Sheffield Hallam University have been recognized as one of the top 50 Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) in UK history.

Guildhawk won the Market Disruptor of the Year Award in 2025 for its GAI Translate™ software. The award ceremony took place on April 8, 2025, and was a recognition of the boldest and most disruptive companies in the security and safety sectors.
