The shortlist for the 2024 Northern Tech Awards has been revealed by organiser GP Bullhound.

The shortlist, in alphabetical order, recognises the fastest-growing technology companies in the North of the UK.

The winners and top 100 will be celebrated at the 2024 Northern Tech Awards on 25th April at Manchester Cathedral.

“2023 was a tale of two cities in the technology sector; with public market share portfolios performing very well, driven by a handful of AI-related stocks, whilst revenue growth continued to slow for a large proportion of public and private companies,” said Javed Huq, managing director of GP Bullhound. 

“Despite this trend, those companies included in the top 100 have delivered exceptional levels of growth which is a testament to the quality of management teams and employees operating across the region. We look forward to celebrating their success at this year’s event.”

Winners on the night will be crowned in the following categories: Fastest Growing Company; Fastest Growing Larger Company; Judges’ Innovation Award; Judges’ Award for Global Ambition; Judges’ Leadership Award; Judges’ Tech 4 Good Award; Judges’ Entrepreneur Award; Judges’ Award for Cultural Excellence; Overall Judges’ Award; Northern Star Innovation Award; Northern Star Entrepreneur Award; Northern Star Commercial Success; and Northern Star Overall Judges’ Award.

Adam Hildreth, founder of Crisp, is a keynote speaker at the Northern Tech Awards.

“The global technology sector is going through an evolution, with expectations that technology businesses maintain the same strong market positions, growth, innovation, and profitability while having less access to both the availability and amount of capital required,” he said. 

“That takes resilience, hard work, and creativity, which is why I believe the Northern technology sector specifically is set to capitalise on what others may perceive to be harder times. I am looking forward to celebrating the successes and finding what’s in store for the future.”
