Businesses driving innovation, embracing technology and developing new ways of working are being encouraged to enter the Business Innovation and Technology Award at the Test Valley Business Awards 2026.
The category is sponsored by University of Southampton Science Park, a leading centre for innovation and business growth that supports a wide range of technology-led and knowledge-based organisations across the region.
The Test Valley Business Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of businesses operating across the borough, from independent start-ups to established employers. Founded in 2004, the awards have spent more than two decades championing local enterprise across Andover, Romsey and the surrounding villages.
The Business Innovation and Technology Award recognises organisations that have demonstrated outstanding innovation through products, services, processes or the effective use of technology to improve performance, customer experience or business growth.
Katie Brooks, Chairman of the Test Valley Business Awards, said: “Innovation comes in many forms and is no longer limited to large technology companies. Across Test Valley we see businesses of all sizes finding new ways to solve problems, improve services, increase efficiency and create opportunities for growth. This award is an opportunity to recognise those organisations that are embracing innovation and technology to make a real difference within their business, their industry or their community. We are delighted to have University of Southampton Science Park supporting this category and helping us celebrate the innovative businesses that contribute so much to the local economy.”
Businesses can enter themselves, and members of the public can also nominate a deserving organisation.
