Digital Innovation Report
The first ever Digital Enterprise Top 100 report is a true celebration of the pioneering innovation and digital transformations being achieved right now by businesses on our doorstep.
The Digital Enterprise Top 100 is run by UMi for the Digital Enterprise Programme, which provides funding, networking and training to more than 2,000 businesses across Leeds City Region. UMi is a delivery partner of the programme and created the campaign to identify and profile the wealth of dynamic and sophisticated businesses which are embracing new technologies.
The 2019 judges were Muz Mumtaz, Digital Enterprise Programme Manager, Helen Goldthorpe, Associate at Shulmans, Richard Brook, Digital Enterprise’s Digital Growth Advisor, Edd Grinham, Exa Networks Limited’s Marketing Manager and Bryan Hoare, UMi Commercial Director. From the 502 entries from across Leeds City Region, the panel shortlisted 118, and then selected their top 100.
Muz said he was particularly delighted at the numbers of smaller businesses starting to embrace technology: “The Digital Enterprise Top 100 clearly demonstrates that there’s a vibrant network of businesses tapping into all sorts of exciting technology– and their experience is there for businesses of all sizes to share.
The Digital Enterprise Top 100 attracted nominations from a wide range of business types, across Leeds City Region, including software experts, automated retail and healthcare. The judges whittled the list of these amazing businesses down to 10 of the best exemplars of those using technology to drive success:
