The eagerly-anticipated awards ceremony, which has become an important fixture in the Northern Ireland IT industry, will be held in the MAC Theatre in Belfast on 14 November.

Ellen Dickson, Vice President of Enterprise Health Services at Telefónica Tech, said: “As the title sponsor of the Belfast Telegraph IT Awards, Telefónica Tech are delighted to announce the launch of the 2025 Awards, a celebration of the innovation, talent and world-class digital leadership thriving right here in Northern Ireland.

Ed McCann, director of publishing at Mediahuis Ireland, publisher of the Belfast Telegraph, said: “We’re delighted to launch the 2025 Belfast Telegraph IT Awards in partnership with Telefónica Tech.
“Since our first IT Awards event in 2019, they’ve grown to become an important showcase for the IT industry and its highest-achieving companies and people.
“There are many headwinds facing the industry, from AI to talent retention, but it’s a sector which has much to celebrate, and we’re proud to play our part in that.
“Thank you to Telefónica Tech for their support of the awards, and for hosting the launch at their offices in Catalyst.
“We look forward to seeing everyone on awards night on 14 November, and wish everyone the best of luck with their entries.”
A panel event was held to discuss challenges and opportunities facing the industry, from AI to talent retention and the global trading environment.
This year, to reflect the fast-evolving nature of the industry, the categories have been altered to reflect the growing importance of AI and other trends.
