Revamped awards to provide UK clean tech firms with a unique opportunity to raise their profile and showcase their cutting edge technologies

BusinessGreen has this week officially launched the BusinessGreen Technology Awards 2018 and is calling on clean tech firms and entrepreneurs from across the UK to seize the opportunity to showcase their cutting edge technologies.

Now in their fourth year, the BusinessGreen Technology Awards bring together many of the most exciting clean and green technology businesses operating in the UK to celebrate and promote this most exciting of sectors.

From blue chip multinationals to early stage start-ups, the awards provide a unique opportunity to highlight many of the technologies and innovations that will be critical to the development of a genuinely sustainable economy, while also showcasing some of the most exciting green technology businesses in the UK to investors, policymakers, and future customers.

The categories for the awards aim to celebrate every part of the green technology community from renewables, transport, and R&D programmes to biotech, recycling, and digital breakthroughs.

This year the Awards will be accompanied by a dedicated online content hub, providing finalists with the chance to present their technologies and showcase their achievements to the widest possible audience. Detailed profiles of all confirmed finalists will provide clean tech firms with the opportunity to raise their profile and present their technology to prospective investors, customers, and key stakeholders.

"The BusinessGreen Technology Awards celebrate some of the most exciting and important companies, innovators, and entrepreneurs working in the UK today," said BusinessGreen editor-in-chief James Murray. "This year we are seeking to raise the profile of our finalists even further and will work with all shortlisted organisations to present their cutting edge technology to the widest possible online audience. At the same time the awards themselves remain a fantastic networking opportunity and chance for clean tech businesses to secure the plaudits they deserve."

The awards will take place on the afternoon of Friday December 7th at a central London location. The deadline for entries is October 12th.

All shortlisted entrants that confirm their attendance will not only get to enjoy the awards ceremony and lunch, they will also receive a logo for marketing purposes and a dedicated profile on the BusinessGreen Technology Awards content hub designed to raise their profile, showcase their technology, improve SEO, and help finalists connect with key stakeholders.

The BusinessGreen Technology Awards are free to enter. However, BusinessGreen can only invest in hosting such a high profile event if organisations that are short listed do then attend the awards. As such we can only judge and profile finalists that confirm their attendance at the awards ceremony and would urge entrants to check they have the time and budget to attend the event before submitting an entry.
