The Company of Year Award
This award is made to a company of special recognition operating in the UK. It is an honour presented by TechWorks to a commercial organisation which stands out from the crowd for good reason. For example it could be a company which has had a remarkable year – perhaps it has won a large piece of business, has extended its market appeal, is a consistent performer, is a good employer, is considered to be a good corporate citizen etc.
The winner of this category will have developed a strong presence with proof of achievements as aforementioned – including strong market share, economic turn-around and innovative approach.
We’re looking for a company that can be universally admired for their practice and dedication to success – a company that we can celebrate as a UK success story. We will consider nominated, self-nominated and other candidates identified during the regular work of TechWorks staff for this award.
Award Criteria
Open to any public or private company, large or small, foreign-owned or UK headquartered, operating within the Deep Tech and Electronic Systems ecosystem: for example it includes OEMs (which utilise their own electronic systems capabilities to produce products/services), electronic product manufacturers, chip producers, IP, embedded software, tool vendors, suppliers and beyond.
*Note: Companies do not have to be members of TechWorks to be nominated/apply/win.
The Contribution to Industry Award
A personal award given by TechWorks to an individual who has been influential and has significantly contributed to making a visible difference in the Deep Tech industry.
The award recognises a person who has made noteworthy contributions to the industry under their own effort and whose passion drives them to continue their efforts without looking to benefit personally.
We consider people who have supported any part of industry in the UK – whether it be through representation, mentoring, educating, leading or any other activity which goes beyond the duty of a job and is considered to have made an impact over a sustained period of time. The Contribution to Industry award is not open for applications but is rather decided internally by TechWorks and the winner is honoured on the evening of the celebrations during the Awards Ceremony.
