Test Valley Business Awards 2026 Open for Entry

Nominations are now welcomed for this year’s Test Valley Business Awards, following the scheme’s official launch on Friday 13th March.

The Test Valley Business Awards recognise businesses and individuals operating across the borough, from independent start-ups to established employers.

Southampton Science Park has been delighted to be involved as a gold sponsor of this awards scheme since its inception.

In 2026, it is proud to sponsor the Business Innovation and Technology Award. This award shines a light on businesses that have successfully embraced technological innovation to deliver measurable improvements and/or achieve competitive advantage. If your business has used technology to create new products, services or processes, or to achieve greater efficiency, competitiveness or customer satisfaction, then this is the award category to enter.

There are nine other award categories this year, offering additional recognition opportunities for: Business in the Community, Business Person, Corporate Business, Business Employer, New Business, Rural Business, Small Business, Sustainability, and Young Business Person. 

Full details of what the judges will be looking for can be found on the Test Valley Business Awards website, along with an online entry form. There is no cost to enter these awards but a great deal to gain from profile building and recognition of hard work so there’s nothing to lose!  

The Science Park team wishes every business owner who enters or is nominated in any category the very best of luck and success, and looks forward to celebrating those who help make the Test Valley such a vibrant and thriving place to do business in the autumn.
