Organised by GP Bullhound, the Awards celebrate the innovative technologies and businesses developed in the region and recognise those who contribute to their success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Northern Tech Awards Top 100 League Table acknowledges the 100 fastest-growing technology companies in the region. The ranking is based on revenue growth over the past three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the list of \u2018Fastest Growing Technology Companies,\u2019 ten companies are selected by a judging panel composed of investors and industry experts to compete for the special Judges\u2019 Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry to the Northern Tech Awards is free. To qualify for inclusion in the Top 100, companies must demonstrate at least three years of revenue growth and achieve a minimum revenue of \u00a3500,000 in 2022. The Northern Stars Awards recognise the innovation and achievements of tech businesses with revenues below this threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpbullhound.com\/northern-tech-awards-2025-enter-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enter Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"grid-template-columns:45% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpbullhound.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/nta24-453-sp3-1193-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16042 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpbullhound.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/nta24-453-sp3-1193-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gpbullhound.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/nta24-453-sp3-1193-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gpbullhound.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/nta24-453-sp3-1193-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gpbullhound.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/nta24-453-sp3-1193-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gpbullhound.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/nta24-453-sp3-1193-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEOs of the Top 100 companies and the Top 10 Northern Stars are invited to celebrate and receive their awards at the Northern Tech Awards ceremony on Thursday 24 April in Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025 Northern Tech Awards are proudly sponsored by HSBC Innovation Banking, Apprentify, Cazenove Capital, Squire Patton Boggs, Inflexion, Bruntwood SciTech, London Stock Exchange, and YFM Equity Partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This invitation-only event is attended by CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business leaders in the digital economy, providing an excellent networking opportunity for like-minded individuals to connect and share ideas.
