The awards celebrate the year’s key electronics innovations, people and companies from across the UK and Ireland. It has been run as an annual event since 2001.
The “Emerging Technology Company of the Year” Award honours a growing company showing excellent progress – demonstrating impressive growth in areas such as revenue, headcount, innovation, investment and market traction as success indicators.
In presenting the award, NMI CEO Derek Boyd said: “Our winner has considered both the technology and commercial needs to truly enable the Internet of Things with ultra-low-cost and flexible solutions. They have built strong partnerships and recognised the need for an optimised production process as the next step in their growth strategy. Their strong customer pipeline and vision for producing billions of units make them not just an emerging company, but a blossoming endeavour.”
