Let's celebrate UK tech entrepreneurs!
The 13th annual Enterprise Awards gala dinner recognises outstanding UK tech entrepreneurs
There are any number of award ceremonies recognising tech company achievements, be they the fastest growing or otherwise best in class.
But there are few celebrating individual tech entrepreneurs, and none as prestigious as the annual Enterprise Awards for Tech Founders, established by one of the most respected names in the UK tech industry, serial entrepreneur John O'Connell, Founder and Executive Chairman at ScaleUp Group, the corporate advisory that does what it says on the tin!
And last night was the thirteenth Enterprise Awards gala dinner, which proved a lucky number for the entrepreneurs recognised as being best in class:
· Social Enterprise Entrepreneur: Vinay Nair, Lightful
· Public Sector Entrepreneurs:
Dr Anas Nader, Patchwork Health and Martin Neale, ICS AI Ltd
· Applied AI Entrepreneur: Michelle He, Abound
· Scale Up Entrepreneur: Ranjan Singh, HealthHero
· Emerging Entrepreneur: Dan Thompson, Kluster
· Developing Entrepreneur: Iain Griffin, Seatfrog
· Enterprise Entrepreneur: Dr. Ozan Ozerk, OpenPayd
The 2025 ceremony was co-hosted by Tola Sargeant, Chair of the Judging Panel and CEO of Archives of IT, alongside Paddy MccGwire, fellow judge and Senior Partner at Silverpeak.
I can think of no better way to recognise and celebrate the incredible entrepreneurial talent we have in the UK tech industry.
