The live awards ceremony returns to The Radisson Edwardian Manchester on 26th November, where we’ll be celebrating the ambitious organisations, projects, teams, and individuals driving growth and innovation across the North of England and Scotland.
Early bird tickets are now available until 16th October – secure your place at this high-profile event and join hundreds of leaders from across the tech ecosystem. Guests will enjoy a drinks reception, three-course dinner, the awards presentation itself, and an after-party to round off the evening in style.
This year’s shortlist has been carefully selected by an independent panel of judges following a rigorous two-stage process. A huge thank you to our judges for their time and expertise – you can find out more about them and the judging process here.
Four categories are still to be decided: Female Entrepreneur, Prolific Tech Leader of the Year, Prolific Tech Rising Star and Tech Founder of the Year. These awards will be determined by a mix of judges’ scores and public votes. Scroll to the end of the shortlist to see who’s in the running and cast your votes before midnight 17th October.
Finally, a big thank you to our category sponsors Better Placed, Beyond Echo PR, Bruntwood SciTech, Colony, Forbes Solicitors, Gateley, MLP Solicitors, The Eastern Blok and the Growth Company for making this year’s awards possible.
