The award, sponsored by Datalink Electronics, recognises TBAT Innovation’s impactful Innovation Challenge – a flagship initiative supporting innovation-driven UK SMEs.

With backing from an expanding network of industry sponsors and partners, the Challenge has seen remarkable growth, both in participation and influence.

“We’re incredibly proud to receive this recognition,” said Sam Stephens, Director at TBAT Innovation. “The Innovation Challenge was born out of a desire to empower and help UK SMEs, and to see how it has developed thanks to the incredible support from our partners is truly rewarding. This award reflects the collaborative spirit behind the programme and the growing community committed to driving UK innovation forward.”
