The Scale-Up Awards are open for 2023!

Organised by Business Leader, a leading media company for entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs, investors, advisors and business leaders, the Scale-Up Awards celebrate high-growth companies and the entrepreneurs that run them.

It is one of the first and only awards to focus on the scale-up sector and the 2023 event will showcase the businesses that have navigated the tough conditions by innovating, creating jobs, achieving growth, and supporting their communities and the planet.
