With these awards returning to Old Trafford Stadium on 9th November, we will be once again celebrating the remarkable innovations, teams and individuals working to place the North’s tech sector on the map.
Our free to enter categories are designed to celebrate all the entrepreneurs, rising stars and small teams with big dreams whereas for the team categories, it’s a chance to reward your team for driving those great ideas forwards.
There are five free to enter categories this year:

Tech Incubator or Accelerator of the Year – Are you a Northern accelerator or incubator that has made a big contribution towards nurturing the region’s tech ecosystem, helping tech businesses to grow and thrive? Then this category might be the one for you.

Tech Rising Star Award – This category looks to reward the past year’s top entrepreneurs working in the region. We’re looking for individuals who’ve overcome significant challenges, maybe introduced a remarkable solution or might be someone to watch in the tech community.
