Each year The SPARKies celebrates the people and organisations shaping the South West tech ecosystem. From ambitious founders and scaling businesses to emerging talent and community champions, this year’s longlist showcases the innovation, creativity and momentum driving the region forward.
Following an exceptionally strong round of nominations, our judges will select the standout names progressing to the shortlist. Being longlisted is an achievement in itself — recognising the individuals and teams making a real impact across the South West’s thriving tech community.
Tickets for this year’s SPARKies are also now on sale, with the awards returning on Thursday 16th July at the iconic St George’s Bristol for a night of celebration, connection and recognition across the ecosystem.
