Announcing the shortlist for the Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2023

Recognising digital excellence

Computing is delighted to announce our 2023 Digital Technology Leaders Awards shortlist.

The shortlist for this year's awards includes a diverse range of organisations and individuals from across the UK, all of whom have made significant contributions to the digital landscape.

Technology continues to transform business. In a period where the world has undergone many changes to "regular" practices, tech has taken the spotlight in providing efficient and comprehensive solutions to many problems.

In addition, companies have had to re-evaluate their approach to not only their daily business, but their overall strategy.

In this landscape, innovative firms and individuals have used technology to stand out from the crowd.

Computing's Digital Technology Leaders Awards exist to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the people and companies who are really making it happen at the coal face of the digital technology stack: from website design and coding to UX and project management; from scrum masters and product managers, all the way up to the CDO.

We are excited to announce our 2023 winners at an exclusive awards ceremony in the Leonardo Royal Hotel St Paul's, London on Thursday 6^th July - the perfect opportunity to celebrate your success and reward your teams for their hard work.
