Welcome to BusinessCloud’s 100 MediaTech Innovators ranking for 2021.
LifeScore tops the inaugural annual ranking of the UK companies which are creating technology to transform production and delivery of media and the arts: from music to podcasts, radio, video, film and the written word.
The final ranking was decided by a combination of selections from an expert judging panel (see below) and a public vote on the 127-strong shortlist which attracted more than 1,200 votes.
