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

How to enter
Applications are now open and can be completed online. The deadline is midnight on Friday 29 May 2026.

APPLY NOW

Why it’s worth entering
If you’ve introduced something new into your business, this is your opportunity to step forward and be recognised.
