Big Ideas Welcome

The Gibtelecom Business Innovation Award is back, and it’s designed to recognise the ideas that are genuinely moving Gibraltar’s business landscape forward.

What the award is looking for
At its core, the award is about practical innovation. The kind that improves how a business runs, creates value for customers, and sets you apart in a competitive market.

The winning business will receive:

  • £2,000 worth of IT and communications equipment from Gibtelecom
  • One month of ‘Header’ advertising in Thrive EDIT
  • Two tickets to the GFSB Annual Dinner

If your business has a promotional banner hanging from railings, fencing or other public infrastructure, now is the time to check whether it has the right permissions. The Government has announced immediate enforcement action against unauthorised advertising banners across Gibraltar, citing concerns around visual clutter, public safety and the growing use of public spaces for unapproved advertising.

The GFSB Business Innovation Awards are a useful reminder that innovation does not have to mean dramatic reinvention or technology-led disruption. In many cases, the most effective innovations are much simpler than that. They come from businesses paying attention to changing habits, recognising inefficiencies, and making thoughtful adjustments that improve the way they operate.

Gibraltar’s new Food Delivery Service Regulations are now in force, creating a formal licensing and enforcement framework for food delivery operators. The Government is looking for greater accountability, clearer identification, and more oversight in what it sees as a growing sector. But for businesses already managing operational pressures, the practical impact will matter just as much as the principle.

What if team building encouraged people to step away from their desks and rediscover Gibraltar together? That is the idea behind Hidden Gems, one of this year’s Young Enterprise Gibraltar teams. Created by a group of students balancing school life with entrepreneurship, the concept transforms Gibraltar into a self-guided interactive experience designed to help people uncover overlooked locations, complete challenges, and connect in a more engaging way.

Anyone using an e-scooter on Gibraltar’s roads will soon need to register it online or risk a £300 fine, as Gibraltar’s new PLETS framework moves into its next phase. The Government has confirmed that mandatory registration for PLETS (Personal Light Electric Transporters), including e-scooters, will begin on Monday as part of wider efforts to improve road safety, accountability and enforcement.
