Thames Valley Tech & Innovation Awards

We are delighted to see that two of our portfolio companies have been shortlisted in the prestigious and highly competitive Thames Valley Tech & Innovation Awards 2025.

Reading based Smart CT, a channel only IT services business, has made the shortlist in four categories: IT Solutions Provider of the Year, Sustainable Tech Company of the Year, Tech Leadership of the Year and Tech SME of the Year.

Bracknell based Techex, a leading Cloud and video over IP specialist, is hoping to win the Innovative Tech of the Year category for the second year in a row.

The awards, now in their seventh year, celebrate the most groundbreaking achievements in technology and innovation across the Thames Valley.  Initially launched by The Business Magazine, the baton has been handed over to Insider Media which promises that this year’s event will be ‘bigger and better than ever’.

From pioneering start-ups and high-growth scale-ups to industry veterans and visionary leaders, the Awards honour the full spectrum of talent powering the Thames Valley’s thriving tech ecosystem.

We wish both companies all the best for awards night later this month.
