UKtech50 2025: the longlist of the UK’s influential tech leaders

With a record number of nearly 500 nominees, finding the 50 most influential people in UK IT is a mammoth task with so many deserving candidates, especially in a challenging economic climate.

Each year, the list of nominations grows, as the tech industry tells us who it thinks deserves a place in the top 50. Now in its 15th year, with yet another unprecedented number of nominees, the UKtech50 list continues to recognise the technology leaders driving the digital economy.

The shortlist of 50 names chosen by our expert panel of judges will be published shortly, allowing readers to vote for who they think should be recognised as the most influential leader in UK IT to help the judges make their final decision. The winner will be announced in June.

It has been a year that has demonstrated amazing talent, innovation and resolve among the country’s technology leaders, who recognise the value digital technologies can bring to society, which is why Computer Weekly has decided to reveal all of the nominees who were considered for this year’s top 50 list.

Huge congratulations to everyone who has made it onto the longlist. It is a great achievement and shows the depth of capability across the UK tech industry.

A big thank you also to our partner in the UKtech50 programme, global talent and technology solutions provider Nash Squared.
