Empowering Change
Welcome to the Black Tech Achievement Awards, where brilliance meets innovation. Join us in celebrating the incredible achievements of Black professionals shaping the future of tech.
The UK’s technology sector is growing almost three times faster than the rest of the economy and with tech firms creating an ever increasing number of highly-skilled and highly-paid jobs, opportunities are only set to increase. By championing Black achievement within technology, the BTA Awards aim to inspire and connect whilst helping to map out a more diverse, inclusive and therefore innovative landscape.
