THE body that represents and supports Scotland’s digital business sector has called for companies that pioneer the most innovative and disruptive products in global technology to submit their entries for ScotlandIS Digital Technology Awards 2018.
Now in their eighth year, the awards recognise Scotland’s diverse range of digital technology firms and celebrate the talent and innovation that keeps Scotland at the forefront of the sector. Past winners and finalists include household names such as Skyscanner, FreeAgent and FanDuel.
Polly Purvis, CEO of ScotlandIS, said: “Scotland’s technology sector is full of innovative and exciting firms delivering products and services to domestic and international markets.
“These achievements, at home and abroad, should be widely recognised and the Digital Technology Awards 2018 represent a wonderful opportunity to highlight and reward success.
“Some of the country’s most outstanding technology businesses have been celebrated at our awards; it’s also a terrific showcase for the new and emerging tech stars that can be found throughout Scotland.”
The deadline for entries is 5pm on Friday, February 16.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
