Digital Enterprise – Leeds City Region's Top 100 Digital Tech Adoptions Announced

29 March 2021

Digital Enterprise helps businesses in the Leeds city region grow through digital adoption and transformation. Over the next couple of months Digital Enterprise will be holding a number of special webinars/events. One of these includes 'The Digital Enterprise TOP 100' celebration event.

Digital technology has played a crucial role over the past 12 months helping businesses to continue operating throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, attitudes around digitalisation have changed with enterprises of all types and sectors investing in a wide range of new technology, which has changed how they operate – not just now, but in the future. As such, the TOP 100 list recognises the efforts businesses have been making not just to grow, but also to become more resilient.

This is the second time the Digital Enterprise TOP 100 campaign has been run and it will culminate in the publication of a report featuring the TOP 100 businesses and an online celebration event.

The nominations for the Digital Enterprise TOP 100 have been received, the judging completed and we are delighted to announce that 8 businesses from York have made the list of the Leeds City Region’s most innovative, digitally mature and transformational businesses:
