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.
This is not just about new technology. It is about rethinking how you operate, how you serve customers, and how you grow. Whether that’s a smarter process, a new service, or a fresh way of approaching your market, innovation comes in many forms.
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.
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to present their ideas to a panel of judges, giving you the opportunity to showcase your thinking and the impact it’s having.
What you can win
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
The runner-up will receive:
- One month of ‘News from our Network’ advertising in Thrive EDIT
- Two tickets to the GFSB Annual Dinner

What You Missed
Clocked out in August? Good for you. Thrive EDIT Editor David Revagliatte rounds up the Gibraltar business stories worth clocking back into. August is supposed to be the month when Gibraltar collectively eases off the accelerator. Judging by the news cycle, nobody told 2026. The first full month of life under the new Treaty arrangements brought a mixture of early optimism and very real teething problems for businesses. New employment rules landed, a pensions deadline crept closer, one of Gibraltar's most important airlines changed hands and a major local bank announced job cuts.
