techUK members - winners of the WITSA 2020 Global ICT Excellence Award

We are delighted to congratulate our members who have won this year’s WITSA Global ICT Excellence Awards.

We are delighted to congratulate our members who have won this year’s WITSA Global ICT Excellence Awards.

Organised by the World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA), the prestigious Global ICT Excellence Awards recognise exceptional achievements in using ICT to benefit societies, governments, individuals, organisations and the private sector.

Initiated 20 years ago, at the 2000 World Congress on IT in Taipei, WITSA awards select the most impactful and innovative candidates from over 80 countries. Over the past years, WITSA has recongised its award winners on the world stage, starting in Taipei, to Adelaide (Australia), Athens (Greece), Austin (Texas), Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Montreal (Canada), Guadalajara (Mexico), Brasilia (Brazil), Hyderabad (India) and Yerevan (Armenia), with this year’s awards taking place in Malaysia.  

What makes the Global ICT Excellence Awards unique is that nominations are made by experts that know the industry best; the national and regional WITSA ICT industry associations. With unparalleled insight, the most innovative and impact solutions are brought before an independent panel of judges, consisting of select industry leaders and luminaries from key international organizations, corporations and government entities.

The 2020 WITSA Awards was remarkable for its large number of highly qualified nominees, received from WITSA’s network of ICT industry associations in over 80 countries around the world. The winners and runner ups have been selected from around 130 submissions, which have been prequalified by the national technology industry associations.

This year, techUK members have been recognised on a global scale, winning 5 out of 10 awards.

We are excited to congratulate our members who have been recognised in this year’s awards:

  • Intel: Winner of 2020 Chairman’s Award & Winner of the 2020 E-Education and Learning Award
  • iPLATO: Winner of the COVID-19 Best Industry Solutions Award
  • Chipside: Winner of the 2020 Public/Private Partnership Award
  • Fujitsu: Winner of the 2020 Digital E-Health Solutions Award
  • Equinix: Runner up for 2020 Sustainable Growth Award

Speaking about this year’s awards, WITSA Chairman Yvonne Chiu said:

“Never before in WITSA’s 20 years of hosting the Global ICT Excellence Awards have we had the honour of reviewing so many well-qualified, unique and remarkable award submissions”.

Commenting on this year’s results, Julian David, techUK’s CEO, said:
