Celebrating the creative development and use of digital tech in our region.
Technology is at the heart of everything we do. It has enabled businesses to communicate, innovate and grow in a way never before thought possible. People can now hold conferences and come face-to-face with business leaders anywhere in the world, at the touch of a button. Businesses are better connected today than ever before. Using digital apps and software, they are able to monitor their own productivity, export to new corners of the planet, find new clients and customers, or use mind-blowing augmented and virtual reality to bring their creations to life.
Hull and the Humber are seen as a hotspot for digital activity.
Tech start-up firms and established digital businesses are now working together closer than ever before, as they share ideas and talents. At the same time as all this is happening, “traditional” businesses working in all sectors – be it manufacturing, construction or food – are finding new ways to boost their day-to-day operations with technology.
Every business is becoming truly digital.
KCOM and Hull Live are therefore proud to host for a fifth year The Tech Awards (formerly known as The Digital Awards), which celebrate and highlight digital businesses of all shapes and sizes.
We have some brand new categories up for grabs, including Woman in Tech and Digital Team of the Year, along with the return of favourites including Young Person in Tech and Tech Start-up of the Year.
This year’s awards are hosted by the Gadget Show’s Georgie Barrat, the awards will also return to its roots, in a street-style night of celebration in the former home in Fruit in Humber Street on Wednesday, October 2.
The 2019 Tech Awards will also this year coincide with the Humber Tech Expo, taking place on October 1 and 2.
