Now in its 18th year Tech Industry Alliance Leaders Awards is the highlight of the business and technology calendar in the South-West, Leaders Awards celebrate the very best of the region’s tech sector from dynamic start-ups and scale-ups to global industry leaders with a strong local presence.
 
This year sees the introduction of two new award categories:

• AI Award – recognising outstanding achievement and innovation in Artificial Intelligence.

With the addition of the AI Award and the Best Small Indigenous Irish Company Award, we are shining a light on two areas that are shaping the future of our economy and our communities.”
 
The Leaders Awards will feature finalists across a range of categories, judged by a panel of industry experts, with winners announced by Anton Savage (Event MC) at a black-tie gala evening attended by senior business leaders, innovators, educators, and policymakers.
