Reception for Tech Awards finalists
FINALISTS in our inaugural West Midlands Tech Awards met in Birmingham for a drinks reception ahead of next month’s awards ceremony.
The new awards will celebrate all that is great about the region’s thriving tech and digital industry, from the smallest start-up to the largest corporations and public bodies breaking new ground in this exciting sector.
