Over the last few years, we’ve become particularly proud of the range of organisations and individuals that take part in the British Data Awards as this allows us to showcase the vibrancy of the UK’s data ecosystem. From FTSE 100 heavyweights to tech unicorns, innovative start-ups, public sector pioneers, essential not-for-profit organisations, and everything in between. Quite simply, if you have a data success story to share, we’d love to hear about it.
With several new categories, an all-star judging panel, and a spectacular awards ceremony to look forward to, we’re ready to take our quest to showcase the UK’s data success stories to another level.
Jason Johnson, Co-Founder of Predatech and British Data Awards judge said, “The UK is a hotbed of innovation, and I believe that we have some of best data talent in the world. This is why I’m so excited to read the nominations and highlight some of the great work being delivered by the UK’s data community.”
