Scotland’s tech trade body opens applications for digital technology awards | FutureScot

ScotlandIS – the tech trade body – has opened applications for its annual digital technology awards ceremony next year.

The Digital Technology Awards 2025 event will be held on March 20, 2025, in Glasgow – and will celebrate ‘scale, innovation and talent in the nation’s digital economy’.

Nominations are open until 9 January with winners in 10 different categories – including the new Outstanding ITMSP [IT Managed Service Provider] – being announced on the night.

Karen Meechan, CEO at ScotlandIS said: “There’s no denying the past few years have, at times, been challenging for businesses. But, amidst a tough economic climate, the Scottish tech industry continues to show its resilience, with plenty to be excited about across space, cybersecurity and renewables. Scotland is quickly making its way up the global leaderboard and that’s something to celebrate.”

She added: “Even though we’ve been running these awards for 15 years now, the level of talent and innovation that is present in Scotland’s digital ecosystem never ceases to impress me. The quality of the nominations we receive seems to improve every year, and I have no doubt we will see many more impressive entries for the 2025 awards. The Scottish tech sector is an industry we are all immensely proud of and we can’t wait to see what this year’s entries have in store.” 

The event will be at the Radisson Blu hotel in Glasgow and will be judged by an independent panel of experts to determine the shortlist. To apply, visit: Digital Tech 2025 – ScotlandIS
