Where does your business want to be seen? Well if you’re in a technology business that is B2B, I guess on business technology news sites, which are a great source of information.
10 years ago we wrote this post outlining the 10 key B2B tech sites in the UK – well things have changed since then, with editorial teams dwindling and publications like TechWorld and V3 disappearing.
Below is a list of what we think are among the most influential and must read tech publications that break news, cover business insights, articles, reviews, latest developments and products, and boast significant audiences (noted below where available), in particular order.

A top destination for enterprise and business technology insights.
