OpenUK Awards 2023 Judging

Celebrating UK Leadership and Global Collaboration in Open Technology

Our wonderful Judging panel with a breadth of experience has been ably wrangled by Andrew Bennett, the Awards Committee Chair and a Judge from each category sponsor.  They have deliberated to find the best of our incredible nominees. If you were nominated and not shortlisted, please don’t lose heart. Try agin next year. The shortlist process is a tough one with such an incredible UK ecosystem in this space.

Should you wish to sponsor next year, get involved in organising the awards or have any questions, contact us on admin@openuk.uk
