Last Thursday, our tech & digital community got together to celebrate the brilliant entrepreneurs, organisations & networks working in the South West today. Today we get see the SPARKies 2021 photos!
The SPARKies saw 19 well-deserving individuals & companies take home coveted awards. But as the old adage goes, it wasn’t all about winning.
In 2021, The SPARKies was all about reconnecting with familiar faces and recognising the incredible resilience of our sector as a whole. Everyone should be proud of their achievements in such a challenging couple of years.
We hope you all enjoyed the evening (and the Espresso Martinis) as much as we did! You can now take a look back at the moments our talented photographers captured throughout the night.

The SPARKies awards brought together the best of the South West region’s tech and digital community to The Showroom in Bristol to celebrate the best startups, designs, hardware, people and more and to finally discover who had been crowned the winner of our 17 awards.
Once again thank you to our wonderful sponsors who made the evening possible. And thank you to Stephen Bailey for keeping our guests charmed and entertained.
The SPARKies is also made by its fabulous judges, attendees – and of course those who took the time to nominate who they thought represented the best of tech in the West.
This year’s awards saw a record number of nominations of the highest quality we’ve ever seen with our judges commenting on just how tough it was to decide on the final shortlist. It was a true testament to how the tech sector continues to build back better.
