Nightingale HQ Wins Best Greentech at Wales Tech Awards 2025

WTA Trophy

Wales Tech Week 2025 drew to a close on an uplifting and inspiring note with the milestone tenth Annual Wales Technology Awards. This flagship event is a true celebration of Welsh progress, consistently showcasing the talent and ambition that make Wales a rising force in global technology. The calibre of entrants this year was outstanding, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to every finalist and winner who stood on that stage.

We are especially proud that Nightingale HQ was honoured with the Best Greentech Award, sponsored by Vishay. This recognition highlights our ongoing work with GoSmarter.ai, helping metal manufacturing companies minimise waste and reduce carbon emissions through smarter, data-driven decision-making. For us, this award is more than a trophy, it’s validation that technology aligned with environmental impact can drive meaningful and measurable change in industry.

The metals sector is challenging, with issues ranging from high energy demand to material inefficiencies. Our progress would not be possible without the invaluable support of the Welsh Government and our collaboration with exceptional partners such as the High Value Manufacturing Cluster. Their continued backing empowers us to accelerate innovation and sustain momentum. This award serves as yet another motivational push to keep breaking barriers and delivering real outcomes for both industry and the planet.
