BUSINESS LEADER VIPS

     Introducing the
     GO:TECH
     AWARDS 2020
     The Go:Tech Awards by Business Leader were
     first launched in 2018 to provide a vehicle for
     the technology-led businesses of all sizes to
     celebrate their pioneering work.
     To do this we teamed up with university and business
     incubators, tech influencers and investors to create an
     awards that showcased not only ideas and concepts but
     also the entrepreneurs and leaders that have spotted a
     gap in the market and built a commercially successful
     business.
     Sponsoring the event aligns your brand with this
     excellence in technology and this guide will walk you
     through all the features and benefits you will receive as a
     sponsor and showcase the event highlights.
