Edinburgh, UK — iLivestock, the only agri-tech company offering fully integrated livestock management software and hardware in one easy-to-use package, has been named the Scotland Regional Winner in the prestigious KPMG Tech Innovator in the UK 2025 competition.

On 17th of June, Founder and CCO Jamie Pugh pitched live at KPMG’s offices in Glasgow as part of the Scotland Regional Final and came out on top against a strong field of technology companies. iLivestock will now go on to represent Scotland at the national final in London this July, competing for the title of UK Tech Innovator 2025.

“Winning the Scotland regional final of KPMG’s Tech Innovator is a strong validation of the work we’re doing at iLivestock,” said Ewen Wardman, CEO & Co-Founder. “It’s a great chance to show how our tech can make a real difference for livestock farms of all sizes."

We’re excited to represent Scotland in London, connect with investors, and take the next step in scaling our innovation.

The win comes at a time when the spotlight is increasingly on the role of UK tech SMEs in driving economic growth. A new techUK report, UK Tech SMEs: Driving Economic Growth and Innovation, highlights the importance of early-stage tech companies like iLivestock in contributing to both economic and social value across the UK.

KPMG’s Tech Innovator competition offers high-potential startups exposure to investors, mentoring, and a platform to accelerate growth. The UK winner will go on to compete in the global final later this year, where a panel of international judges will select the KPMG Private Enterprise Global Tech Innovator.

As we head to the national final, we’re sticking to what we do best—building simple, affordable tech that helps sheep and cattle farmers save time and run their farms more easily.

Big news — we’ve been featured in Scottish Enterprise’s Made in Scotland series, which shines a light on innovative businesses doing great things from right here in Scotland.

In the article, our CEO and co-founder Ewen Wardman talks about how iLivestock started, where we’re heading, and what it takes to build useful, farm-ready tech in a changing agricultural world.

“Farmers are looking for smarter, more efficient ways to manage their herds,” Ewen says in the piece.

“At iLivestock, we’re building tools that give farmers real-time, actionable insights. And we’re doing it with Scottish innovation at the core.”

The feature digs into how we’ve gone from a small team with a big idea to an agri-tech company selling internationally — with help from Scottish Enterprise along the way. It also highlights how our tools are helping livestock farmers improve animal welfare, make better decisions, and keep things running more smoothly on the ground.

We’ve still got a lot more to do — but it’s great to have our story told as part of a wider movement putting Scotland’s tech talent on the global map.

iLivestock is delighted to announce that the iLivestock Platform has won the Technology Improvement Award at FIGAN 2025, the International Animal Production Show, held at Feria de Zaragoza. This prestigious accolade recognises the iLivestock platform as a comprehensive solution for farmers—combining farm software, reading, and weighing tools to highlight the value of data capture and demonstrate how to integrate and maximise its benefits on the farm.

This achievement has been made possible thanks to our exclusive partnership with Azasa, a leading supplier of livestock tags in Spain and the exclusive MSD partner in the region. With EID sheep tags becoming mandatory in Spain from July 2025, Azasa will be the exclusive distributor of iLivestock products in the country, further strengthening our presence in the European livestock sector.

This award marks iLivestock’s first international recognition, highlighting our commitment to revolutionising livestock management through cutting-edge technology.

Ewen Wardman, CEO & Co-Founder of iLivestock: “We extend our sincere thanks to Paco Lopez-Belmonte Coba for his invaluable support in Spain and to our partners at Azasa for their collaboration in bringing eWeigh and the iLivestock Platform to market.”
