100 of the brightest digital names from the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland have been included in the Northern Tech Awards.
The ‘Top 100’ list showcases the fastest growing technology companies over the past three years. The cumulative revenue of entrants in 2020 was just over £6.2bn.
Companies included in this year’s list include Preston-based SaaS animation firm Viddyoze (pictured), FinTech Fluent Money Group and AI startup Peak.
To qualify for the main list, companies must operate in the tech sector and have generated over £500,000 in revenue three years prior.
Alongside the ranking, seven companies are selected by an expert panel of judges to receive special Judges Awards and the winners will be announced at an exclusive award ceremony on November 9 at Leeds’ New Dock Hall – attended by some of the biggest names in the region’s digital economy.
Hugh Campbell, managing partner at GP Bullhound said: “From the North East to Manchester and Leeds on either side of the Pennines – the North has now cemented its position as a major player on the UK tech scene.
“It is fantastic to see our Northern region thriving, as a result of the pool of fantastic talent, investment and ambition across the region.
“It is home to some of the most thriving tech hubs in the UK and must not be neglected – it will be a crucial cog in the engine for the UK’s post-pandemic recovery. This is why it is so important that we continue to recognise, invest and celebrate the ecosystem.”
Now in its eighth year, the event also includes the ‘Northern Stars’ programme, which encourages participation of earlier stage companies which do not qualify for the main Top 100.
Previous Northern Tech Awards winners have gone on to become some of the leading success stories of the Northern tech ecosystem, including Skyscanner, On the Beach and The Hut Group.
Other previous winners have successfully raised significant funds and announced high profile deals in the last few years including Matillion, Wejo and musicMagpie.
The ‘Top 100’ list is in alphabetical order but will be listed in order of growth on the night of the North Tech Awards.
