The awards, sponsored by Nominet Trust, took place at London’s Barbican Centre on Thursday March 2, 2017.
The Impact Awards have 13 award categories under three broad headings – people, places and business. Our call for entries closed in January with over 200 submissions, and our jury drew up a shortlist of three for each of our 12 awards categories. Read our list of winners.
At our March 2 afternoon awards ceremony at the 250-seat Frobisher Auditorium, we heard from award-winning entrepreneurs working to make a difference through their digital products and services.
The event brought together our network of innovators – working on projects for health, education, cities and more – along with investors, policymakers, nominated companies, judges and sponsors. Following the awards, we hosted an evening party in the Barbican’s conservatory.
