Dan Barlow, founder and group chief executive of our headline sponsor Kagool, said: “Kagool believes in the social value of business, sponsoring events like the West Midlands Tech Awards as well as other initiatives, with a particular focus not only in the Midlands region but nationally and internationally.
“We strive to always be giving back, especially through our work with Employability UK, where we aim to enhance the aspirations, opportunities and career prospects of enthusiastic, committed young people who are not currently in education, training or employment.
“That’s why the Innovation in Education award is very close to our hearts.”
Tamlyn Jones, Midlands editor for BusinessLive, added: “It’s great news that we are once again able to host our celebration of the region’s vibrant tech community.
“We know from our previous tech awards that there is a huge amount of talent across the West Midlands and we’re encouraging everyone to step forward and not be shy when it comes to shouting about it.
“We are grateful to our supporters and headline sponsor Kagool without whom we would not be able to host this wonderful ceremony which this year will head to a new venue at Millennium Point for the first time.
“The online entry form is now open and ready and waiting to accept your nominations across the ten different award categories so please get submitting.”
