Uktech50 2024: The longlist of the UK’s influential tech leaders

Every year, finding the top 50 most influential people in UK IT is an immense task, but it was particularly challenging this year, as so many deserving candidates were nominated.

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 14th year, the UKtech50 list continues to recognise the technology leaders driving the digital economy, and we received an unprecedented 434 nominations for the list this year.

The past year has brought with it economic uncertainty, international turmoil and regulatory changes, but every single name on the 2024 longlist has shown drive, leadership and incredible spirit in the face of every challenge they have faced. The list also reflects the ever-growing presence of technologies such as quantum and artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI.

The top 50 have already been chosen, but it is worth remarking what a difficult a decision the judges had this year. There was a lot of deliberation before every spot was filled.

It has been a year that has demonstrated amazing talent and innovation among the country’s technology leaders, which is why Computer Weekly has decided to reveal all of the nominees who were considered for the top 50 list for 2024. You can vote for who you think deserve the top spot here. 

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