KPMG Private Enterprise Tech Innovator in the UK 2026

Winning the London heat in such a competitive tech ecosystem is a proud moment for the whole Pimloc team, but it's only the beginning. The world is generating vast amounts of sensitive data that organisations struggle to protect and use. We do both. One platform, one standard of accountability, wherever the data goes. We intend to set that standard globally, and we are looking forward to competing in the final.

SCI has spent years working directly with retailers and supply chains, and what we are now seeing is a major shift from audits and estimated reporting towards real-time operational evidence that can be substantiated. For us, this recognition from KPMG is exciting because it validates that the problem we are solving matters, not just commercially, but strategically. I am also personally delighted for the SCI team. Much of what we are building has come from solving real-world problems with customers, so it is rewarding to see that recognised in such a meaningful way.

2026 started off with a bang for Zelim, with major contract wins across the cruise, ferry and offshore energy sectors, as well as recently launching the world's first Type Approved man overboard detection system. The business is really building momentum now, and winning the Scotland heat of the UK Tech Innovator award amongst such high caliber tech companies, is fantastic recognition for our team. It’s testament to the hard work and dedication that has gone into reaching these milestones. We look forward to the UK final and hope we can bring home the win for Scotland.

We’re incredibly proud to have been selected to represent the South Central region at the KPMG UK Tech Innovator final. This recognition reflects the strength of the science, the commitment of our team, and the growing importance of improving how diabetes is diagnosed and managed. At Digostics, we are focused on addressing real-world barriers in diagnostic pathways, improving both accuracy and accessibility, because earlier and more reliable diagnosis has the potential to improve outcomes for patients and reduce pressure on health systems. It’s particularly encouraging to see innovation in women’s health and preventative care receiving this level of recognition.

We’re incredibly proud to win the Southwest & Wales regional final of the KPMG Tech Innovator competition. At RIG Corp, we’re proving that heavy industry and environmental innovation can go hand in hand by transforming waste streams into valuable resources while reducing landfill, transport emissions and the environmental impact of major infrastructure sectors. This recognition is a huge endorsement of the work our team is doing alongside partners including the University of Plymouth and Innovate UK, particularly around bioremediation and sustainable dredging solutions. We’re excited to represent the region at the national final and continue demonstrating how UK industrial innovation can solve globally significant environmental challenges.

Winning the KPMG UK Tech Innovator regional final is a proud moment for the entire urfuture team and a significant milestone in our journey. We're on a mission to transform how young people discover jobs and how employers identify potential. For decades, entry-level hiring has relied heavily on CVs, keywords and traditional attraction methods. We're building a different approach – meeting young people where they spend their time online and matching them opportunities they may not have considered before based on who they are, while enabling employers to make faster and fairer defensible hiring decisions. To be recognised by KPMG and a panel of industry experts is fantastic validation of that vision. We're excited to represent the region at the national final in London and continue demonstrating how technology can create better outcomes for both young people and employers.
