Unitec Shortlisted for Three National Technology Awards at Tech Excellence Awards 2026

Unitec IT Solutions has been shortlisted in three national categories at the Tech Excellence Awards 2026, recognising the company’s excellence across managed services, marketing leadership, and workplace culture.

Unitec has been named a finalist in the following categories:

• Managed Services Company of the Year

• Marketing Excellence Award

• Best Place to Work

The Tech Excellence Awards celebrate organisations that demonstrate outstanding innovation, service delivery, governance and positive impact within Ireland’s technology sector.

Recognised for Service Excellence and Cybersecurity Leadership
The Managed Services Company of the Year shortlist reflects Unitec’s strong reputation for delivering secure, proactive and highly personal IT services. Unitec supports organisations across professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, education and finance, providing managed IT, cloud and cybersecurity solutions designed around each client’s specific needs.

A key differentiator highlighted in the submission is Unitec’s proactive approach to cybersecurity, including continuous monitoring, staff awareness programmes and in-house expertise that actively identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities before they impact customers.

Marketing Excellence Through Education and Engagement
Unitec’s shortlisting for the Marketing Excellence Award recognises its integrated marketing and communications strategy, combining digital campaigns, thought leadership, events, partnerships and community engagement.

The company has focused strongly on education-led marketing, delivering webinars, cybersecurity briefings and in-person events that help Irish businesses understand emerging threats, regulatory requirements and new technologies such as AI and cloud computing. This approach has positioned Unitec as a trusted advisor rather than just an IT provider.

Building a People-First Workplace
The Best Place to Work shortlist reflects Unitec’s commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive and development-focused workplace. The company has invested heavily in training, certification and professional development, while also supporting flexible working and wellbeing initiatives.
Unitec operates under clear Dignity at Work, diversity and inclusion policies, fostering a culture where people are valued, supported and empowered to progress. This culture directly underpins the company’s high service standards and long-term client relationships.

Commitment to Sustainability and Community
Across all three submissions, Unitec’s strong sustainability practices are evident, including its no-print policy, responsible IT recycling, refurbishment of equipment, hybrid working arrangements and use of energy-efficient technologies. Unitec also actively supports local communities through sponsorships, charity partnerships and educational initiatives.

Leadership Comment
Commenting on the shortlisting, Ian Power, Managing Director of Unitec IT Solutions, said:
“Being shortlisted across three national categories is an incredible recognition of the commitment and professionalism of our entire team. These awards reflect how we operate day to day — delivering secure, reliable IT services, investing in our people, and building long-term partnerships with our customers. We’re proud to be recognised alongside some of the best technology companies in Ireland."

The winners of the Tech Excellence Awards 2026 will be announced on 14^th May at the official black-tie event in Dublin.
