Here is one more teaser before TechSPARK’s Top 50 list is officially announced – we present to you the entrepreneurs, techies and innovators who we have named the Top 75-51 in the region.
We were inspired to compile this list, in partnership with Forgerock, Mettle and ADLIB, to celebrate the people who are defining the South West’s tech cluster and give them all some much-needed recognition. It was no easy task to narrow this down to just 50 individuals, so we wanted to give due acknowledgment to everyone who made the Top 100. Without further ado, here are the next names on the list – once again in alphabetical order.
