About the British Data Awards

Now in our fifth year, the British Data Awards is a platform that is proud to reflect the diversity and vibrancy of the UK’s data ecosystem. In 2024 nominations were received from 14 FTSE 100 heavyweights, technology unicorns, innovative start-ups, government departments, pioneering not-for-profits, and everything in between.
