TECH CLIMBERS’ TIMELINE

We want to make sure every business can make the most out of every stage of the campaign. To ensure you do, we’ve mapped out a timeline of the 3-month project, as well as the key business benefits to entering.

THE Launch

Our launch event lays down the full details of our regional campaign and marks the official opening of Tech Climbers entries. Ahead of entering, the launch gives you a chance to meet our partners (who are carefully picked to offer a range of startup support) and hear from influential figures and past winners.

ENTRIES & NOMINATIONS

We invite tech businesses to submit your business for consideration for your region's next Tech Climbers list. We ask some non-intrusive questions about your growth ambitions. We also offer the opportunity for anybody to nominate somebody else - a way to recognise businesses that deserve a special mention. We then reach out to any businesses that have been nominated encouraging them to enter.

JUDGING

Our expert judges meet to consider all entries and agree on which businesses will make the region's next list.

THE BIG REVEAL

The main event! Everyone gathers to celebrate all the entrants and the finalised Tech Climbers list. The evening highlights voices from local start-ups, as well as other key figures from the region, and gives you a chance to connect with like-minded individuals and supportive businesses.
