We’ve been nominated! Simul8 makes the shortlist for the 2021 UK Business Tech Awards in the Tech for Good category. 🎉

We’re delighted to announce that Simul8 has made the shortlist for the 2021 UK business Tech Awards’ Tech for Good category.

The awards celebrate the UK’s finest technology businesses, while the ‘Tech for Good’ category looks to reward an outstanding campaign or project that has significantly impacted society and made a lasting positive change.

The nomination comes following our work during the pandemic where we offered pro-bono support to organizations worldwide, in the form of free simulation software and consulting expertise to organizations, particularly within the healthcare sector to help them during unprecedented times.

During the past 18 months we’re proud to have given over $130,000 of software and more than 40 days of free consulting time to support organizations with the challenges the pandemic hit them with. The work undertaken spanned 22 countries worldwide and looked at a number of different areas including planning hospital capacity, delivering vaccines with specialised storage requirements and ensuring that the vaccine roll out could happen as efficiently as possible.

CEO Laura Reid said: “The decision to offer our support during the pandemic for free was an easy one. The alternative would have been not to act at all, or to try and profit at the time of greatest need, which would simply go against our whole ethos of improved empowerment and accessibility to technology that can make a positive difference.

“As a SME, this was a big undertaking where we were successful in getting our pro-bono support out to numerous organisations both in the UK and around the world. I couldn’t be more proud of the whole Simul8 team and it’s such an honor to have their fantastic achievements recognized by this nomination for the prestigious UK Business Tech Awards.”

Our work to support others at this time hasn’t stopped there, we are still actively working to help organizations get employees back to work safely, plan how to deal with the backlog of canceled appointments and operations and deal with other issues the pandemic has left behind.

Simul8 is one of 10 companies shortlisted for the award and we’re proud to be included in a shortlist with so many other amazing projects that have used technology for good. The award ceremony takes place on October 13 in London, so we’ll keep you updated on what happens!
