Membership and cluster management organisation ScotlandIS has announced that nominations are now being accepted for the 2022 Digital Technology Awards.

The awards – which have been running for eleven years – showcase excellence within Scotland’s tech industry, rewarding the innovation, expertise, and ambition of large and small businesses – as well as the people who work within them.

A focus at the 2022 awards will be a celebration of what has been achieved over the last year and recognising individual commitments to pertinent causes, ScotlandIS said.

New categories have been added including Climate Champion, Open-Source Contribution and Best Workplace which aim to honour technical innovation, positive company culture and the fight against climate change.
