Introducing Tech 50: Your chance to rank UK’s most exciting firms

Technology

BusinessCloud is looking to crown the most exciting tech companies across the UK with a series of regional ranked lists.

Beginning with London, our Tech 50 rankings will shine a light on the companies of all sizes who are doing amazing things with technology. We will publish one ranked list a month every year from February through to December.

Although we are looking for evidence of turnover and workforce growth or investment, the key criteria is companies harnessing tech in a disruptive way.

They may have developed the technology themselves or adapted an existing tech in a novel way, but they must be making a real impact to be considered for Tech 50.

A panel of regional experts will judge our long-list of nominations for each list before we open voting to the general public. The final 50 ranking will be decided by a combination of the two. To suggest an independent judge, email [email protected].

The process for each region is as follows, with key dates and deadlines below:

  • Nominations open (all year round)
  • Nominations close
  • Long list produced from nominations and expert opinion
  • Expert judging concluded
  • Voting opens to general public
  • Rankings published
