Applications for the 2025 Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce business awards are now open!
This year’s awards centre on the theme “Pioneering Progress.” Scotland has a rich history of innovation dating back to the Enlightenment. This era witnessed innovation in a wide range of fields, from economics and medicine to engineering and philosophy, laying the groundwork for many modern disciplines and continuing to influence the world today.
This legacy continues to thrive today. Scotland’s world-class universities are producing boundary-pushing spinouts, and the country excels in sectors like Quantum, Space, Robotics, and Life Sciences, reflecting Scotland’s innovative spirit.
Join us as we celebrate Scotland’s leadership in innovation. Be inspired by pioneering speakers and celebrate the local business leaders and organisations who are driving our economic success, making Edinburgh an exceptional place to live and work.
Representing everything from small businesses, to companies who are doing the most to support the environment, across our 15 categories there’s an option for everyone. Explore all award categories and criteria for the #ECCAwards25 here.
