Global technology and investment advisory firm GP Bullhound is bringing its Northern Tech Awards to Edinburgh on 20th April.

The awards, which showcase the fastest-growing and most promising tech companies in the North of the UK, are returning to the Scottish capital for the first time since 2018 for it’s tenth anniversary.

Javed Huq, Executive Director at GP Bullhound, said: “The tenth anniversary of the Northern Tech Awards will celebrate the incredible achievements of the region’s digital economy over the past 12 months, and we look forward to shining the spotlight on some of the most notable success stories.”

Since its inception, the Northern Tech Awards have featured Scottish tech stories, with keynote speakers at previous events including Skyscanner co-founder Bonamy Grimes and FanDeul co-founder Rob Jones.

Entries for the Top 100 are open until 17th March – firms will need at least three years of revenue growth and a minimum revenue of £500,000 in 2020 to apply.

An additional category, Northern Stars, is open to companies with revenues below this threshold.

Shortlisted companies will be revealed on 6th April in GP Bullhound’s annual Northern Tech 100 League Table of the fastest-growing tech companies in the north of the UK.
