Established in 1996,[5] the awards are hosted by Business & Finance and historically sponsored by telecommunications company Eir (formerly known as Eircom).[6]
A parallel set of awards for young people aged 19 and under, known as the "Junior Spiders", was established in 2009.[5][7]
Since 2018 the awards have reputedly come "under the umbrella" of the Dublin Tech Summit conference.[8]
