And we’re not just talking companies –  incredible individuals, startups, organisations and agencies all contributing to the tech success of the South West has meant we’ve racked up a record number of nominations for 2018.

The over 300 nominations include unique and innovative apps, incredible virtual reality experiences, those using tech to do good, as well as nominations recognising those who have spent a lifetime contributing to the South West tech and digital sector.

Our amazing 20 SPARKies judges now have the tough challenge of deciding who to shortlist and who to award the ultimate winner’s title. Yet they agree that the breadth and excellence of all those nominated deserve congratulating too.
