2018 Tech Trailblazers Awards Finalists Announced

The Tech Trailblazers Awards, the first annual awards program for enterprise information technology startups, has announced a shortlist of the most innovative entrants and concepts in enterprise technology. The shortlist, judged by a panel of IT industry heavyweights, is now open to public vote.

Now in its seventh year, the scheme continues to focus around the ethos of finding innovation from anywhere in the world, from the smallest startups to more established players. This aim to highlight both up-and-coming and established talent from all regions is reflected in the Firestarter Award for non-VC funded early stage startups.

The voting public can now help determine who will win in all categories. To view the shortlist and vote online visit http://www.techtrailblazers.com/shortlist. Voting closes 11.59 Pacific Time Wednesday 16 January 2019.

Rose Ross, founder of the Tech Trailblazers Awards, said “Our expert judges have highlighted the star quality entrants and now the public can help decide which innovations deserve the Tech Trailblazer title. The quality of concepts and offerings amongst our entrants this year has been incredibly high, so we’re proud to announce the diverse shortlist. Congratulations to all finalists, it’s now time for the voting public to influence the competition. We eagerly await the results!”
