Here are the winners for the 2018 Big Data Excellence Awards

The expanded awards highlighted 18 innovative companies

The Big Data Excellence Awards 2018 were a great success last night, at the stunning De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in central London.

With 18 categories covering every area of the Big Data and the Internet of Things, and awards presented to organisations, teams, projects, products and individuals, the evening covered the full spectrum of the industry.

The quality of entries was particularly high this year and the judges struggled to choose winners - but, as always, some of our finalists walked away with a gong and others did not. Despite that, every shortlisted firm should be immensely proud to have made it so far in such a competitive process.
