· ScotlandIS announced the 2024 Digital Tech Awards winners at a ceremony in Glasgow last night
· A wide range of sectors were represented, with Utopi being handed the Scale-up Business of the Year award
ScotlandIS, the membership and cluster management organisation for Scotland’s digital technologies industry, announced the winners of its 14th annual Digital Tech Awards in Glasgow on Thursday night. This year’s ceremony saw Utopi picking up the prestigious title of Scale-up Business of the Year award.
Winners across the 11 categories were selected from more than 100 businesses and individuals who submitted entries, with the shortlist compiled by an expert panel of judges from across the Scottish tech industry.
In a competitive field Utopi’s feedback from the judges was:
“Utopi’s success with their ESG Tech Platform & Data solutions in the real estate sector over the past year impressed the judges. The business has not only built a worldwide customer base offering longer term growth potential but has grown locally, embedding itself in the Scottish technology ecosystem.”
Speaking of the award Jonathan Burridge, CEO and CO-Founder, said, “It was great to be celebrated with the biggest names in Scotland’s Tech scene last night. This is an award that is testament to our whole team and the work we’ve put in over the past 5 years, and will continue to put in. We are in full scale-up mode, and have another exciting year ahead, so watch this space!”
ScotlandIS CEO, Karen Meechan, said:
“It’s always inspiring to see the work being done by those determined to push our industry forward. This year’s entries have been some of the strongest we’ve seen, with each of the nominees impressing the judges in their own way. It’s my hope that some of the success stories from this year’s ceremony will inspire others to achieve similarly impressive feats in the coming 12 months.
“The Scottish tech sector is an industry we should all be extremely proud of. Over time we have cultivated an ecosystem that has promoted and supported the growth of Scottish technology businesses, despite an economic environment that has, at times, been fairly hostile. Technology can be a shining light for the Scottish economy, a prime example of what innovation, ingenuity and determination can all come together to deliver. The Digital Tech Awards are a reminder of what can be achieved when the conditions are right.”
