There are eight categories for the awards: the overall Business of the Year Award, Innovation Award, Technology Award, Excellence Award, Green Award, Community Award, International Trade Award, and the Entrepreneur Award. The deadline for entry is January 29.

The main sponsor of this year’s event has been announced as TalkTalk Technology.
