The deadline for KPMG’s Best British Tech Start-up (BBTS) competition is this Sunday 25 November. If you haven’t got your entry in already, we’d love to see some Sheffield companies make it through to the Northern stage of the competition, held on Thursday 31 January 2019.

What’s it all about?

This is the fifth edition of the BBTS competition, which helps highlight and showcase some of the UK companies doing great work. Thousands of businesses have entered the competition in previous years and many have gone on to raise millions in funding. Previous participants include What3Words, Babylon Health, Your.MD and SafeToNet.

Shortlisted applicants in this year’s competition will be invited to pitch at one of our five regional heats (see Northern stage info above). The six finalists will progress to the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona on 25–28 February next year, where they will pitch to a panel of global industry experts. They will then choose the Best British Tech Startup 2019.
