Thursday 8 May, 2025

The Enterprise Awards is proud to announce the shortlist of exceptional founders for its 13th annual celebration, taking place on Wednesday, 18th June 2025 at the historic Drapers’ Hall in the City of London.


Founded in 2011 by successful entrepreneur and Executive Chairman of ScaleUp Group, John O’Connell, the Enterprise Awards uniquely focuses on founders rather than businesses--recognising innovation, ambition, and entrepreneurial impact across the UK’s technology sector.

These founders represent a broad cross-section of the UK’s technology and innovation economy, spanning AI, fintech, healthtech, sustainability, and digital transformation.


Since its inception, the Enterprise Awards has raised over £150,000 for charity, including £13,000 last year for the WCIT Charity. All profits from the 2025 event will once again go to the WCIT, supporting IT education, digital inclusion, and transformative tech projects across the UK.


Past winners include some of the most influential names in UK tech, such as Vishal Marria (Quantexa), Alastair Bathgate (Blue Prism), and Poppy Gustafsson (Darktrace), now the UK’s Minister for Investment.


This year’s awards are proudly sponsored by Evelyn Partners, ScaleUp Group, Silverpeak, HSBC Innovation Banking, and Infoshare+/Omni Partners, with impact partner Archives of IT, media partner CommsCo, and event management by tx2events.
