Ash Roots, chief digital officer for BT's consumer division, said: "Technology is in BT's DNA so we're delighted to be the headline sponsor of the West Midlands Tech Awards.
"The West Midlands has a reputation as a hotbed of innovation which is a major reason why we have decided to base some of our world-leading technology research and product development at our new regional hub at Three Snowhill in Birmingham.
"As a business, we know what value technology can bring. In fact, our labs have been responsible for many of the pioneering innovations which have transformed the communications landscape in the 海角视频 and across the world.
"We're also one of the 海角视频's biggest investors in R&D of any company in the 海角视频 and globally in the telecoms sector.
"Technology can provide huge benefits for society so it's great we're able to recognise the efforts of firms in the West Midlands operating in this field through these awards and we congratulate them for the fantastic work they have achieved."
