Award for tech-inspired Junior Achievement corporations (UF-företag)

UF Tech Awards

We want to inspire more people to work with tech and also contribute to there being more tech companies in the Borås region. That’s why we at Tech Borås, together with Ung Företagsamhet Älvsborg, have established “UF Tech Awards” where we reward inspiring and innovative Junior Achievement corporations (UF-företag) with elements of tech.

Through this, we want more young people to develop in data-driven innovation and contribute to a society where more people can develop their entrepreneurship. The UF Tech Awards were launched in March 2023 and awarded for the first time in the academic year 2023/2024.
