Avril Lewis MBE, managing director of The ESTnet commented:
“For the past seven years, the Wales Technology Awards have grown into one of the biggest nights of the year for the thriving technology industry in Wales. We received a record number of entries for last year’s awards and were impressed by the quality of the competition from both established organisations and vibrant start-up tech companies.
“However, the awards are much more than simply recognising success within Wales. They also serve to highlight and promote the Welsh tech industry as not only a key part of the Welsh economy, but also as a hot bed of innovation and excellence both across the UK and internationally.
“As such, the awards not only bring together the best minds in Welsh technology, but also wider professional services, academic, investment and entrepreneurial communities that help create the eco-system that is crucial for the industry to thrive.”
