More than 70 technology organisations and companies across Ireland entered this year’s awards, and winners will be unveiled at the annual event in The Mansion House, Dublin, on 24 November.
The 36 shortlisted companies will now have to present to eight independent panels of judges comprising CEOs and successful founders of Irish software and digital companies.
The ceremony’s keynote speaker will be Barry Lowry, Government CIO, with sports broadcaster Darragh Maloney on MC duty for the evening.
