UK Technology Fast 50 Awards

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is one of the UK’s foremost technology awards programmes. Each year we highlight the 50 fastest growing tech companies in the UK.

Over the past 26 years, the high growth sector has transformed in lockstep with the meteoric rise of the UK tech scene. As the UK’s longest running business growth awards programme, we have been there every step of the way, celebrating some of the most successful start-ups of the last few decades.

Award categories

Fast 50 Women in Leadership

The companies within the Technology Fast 50 ranking that are either led by a female* CEO or have a founding team comprised of at least 50% women.

* The terms ‘women’ and ‘female’ are taken to include all those who self-identify as women or female and engage with their current employers as such.


Rising Stars

Recognises the innovation and achievements of UK tech businesses who are leading the way but have not been in operation for four years and therefore cannot yet enter the awards.

Deloitte and our sponsors each nominate a Rising Star as part of the programme.


CleanTech

Recognises climate technology companies within the Technology Fast 50 ranking for their contribution to the UK’s net zero target.

You only need to submit one nomination form. Depending on your eligibility, you will be automatically considered for four tech award categories: UK Technology Fast 50, Fast 50 Women in Leadership, Regional Winners and CleanTech.
