Belgian FinTech Company of the Year: Monizze

Financial technology, or ‘fintech’, is a growing segment worldwide. Belgium has a thriving IT-landscape in which fintech takes up a prominent role: start-ups and disruptors, incubators and sector organizations, funding and VC-capital, and last but not least strong businesses active in the field of financial technology. We’re looking for organizations offering top notch expertise in fintech, insurtech and accountingtech.

Belgian Tech Scale-up Company of the Year: Deliverect

Starting your own company is one thing. Letting it scale at a high pace is probably even more challenging. This is an award for Belgian technology scaleups that have grown exponentially over the last couple of years and are currently developing their market via strategic collaborations with established corporates and/or internationally.

Belgian Tech Startup Company of the Year: Metamaze

Having a good idea and addressing a true need in the business space is essential for a startup company. But so is the necessary funding, the right team and the search for a repeatable and scalable business model. This award celebrates Belgian technology startups that excel at all these characteristics.

Communications Innovator of the Year: Dstny

Connectivity is of the utmost importance and is absolutely critical in today’s businesses. How many services in your company rely on high-speed connectivity? This award wants to put the spotlight on a company that successfully manages to innovate connectivity and/or communication services to businesses and end-users.

Customer Centric IT Company of the Year: Cegeka

Customer satisfaction is no longer value for money. This award celebrates the mutual trust and respect in a buyer-supplier ecosystem that results in comfort in relationship and happiness, characterized by the supplier’s deep understanding and expertise of businesses, processes and technology.

Cybersecurity Company of the Year: Palo Alto Networks

People, policies, and processes are the keys to protecting or securing information assets. Looking at the news headlines only confirms the true need for cybersecurity. This award honors companies who deliver rigorous enterprise grade protection, while ensuring business continuity without disruption and loss in assets.

Data Center Services Company of the Year: LCL

The data centre is at the heart of the digital economy and only the most advanced and modern data centres can offer an answer to the ever accelerating needs of technological innovations. As an infrastructure partner, they must also ensure that companies can switch quickly and scale up where necessary in order to bring new services to the market.

Digital Workplace Innovator of the Year: Awingu

Few could have predicted the changes 2020 has brought to all of us, including where and how we work. This award seeks to identify those technology companies and IT solution providers who managed to come up with new, innovative digital workplace solutions and/or integrate them, while at the same time maintaining a key focus on employee safety & well-being. We’re looking for technology companies and IT solution providers who help organizations in enhancing the total employee experience in a non-traditional remote work model and embracing the ‘new’ hybrid workforce model.

Enterprise Application Innovator of the Year: Microsoft

This award is aimed at technology trendsetters that open up new possibilities in the field of enterprise applications – front-end or back-end: software as a product or software as a service. We’re highlighting innovative enterprise applications that e.g. break new ground for accelerated growth, efficient business processes, additional added value or generating new business.

Enterprise IT Services Company of the Year: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)

Technology has changed the way enterprises do business and go to market. This award seeks to identify large (*) IT service providers that add value in the entire enterprise segment, e.g from service innovation, delivery and security, data management, building loyalty and enhancing productivity to digitizing the workplace.

IT Infrastructure Innovator of the Year: Eurofiber

ICT-infrastructure is core. And infrastructure is constantly evolving. This award wants to applaud companies who manage to successfully innovate (parts of) their on-premise, cloud based or hybrid infrastructure platform(s) in storage, computing and networking thus making next-gen applications for end customers a reality.

IT Recruiting & Sourcing Company of the Year: Amon Consultants

We’re all struggling in finding the necessary IT-skills for our companies. And we all know that having the right people on board is the key to success. This award wants to honor HR Service Providers and IT Staffing Service Providers who successfully succeed in helping others to find, attract and retain the right people for the job.

IT Services SMB of the Year: AE

This award seeks to identify SMB (*) IT service providers that bring value to end customers, e.g from service innovation, delivery and security, data management, building loyalty and enhancing productivity to digitizing the workplace.

Most Environmentally Responsible ICT Company of the Year: ACA Group

Tech companies weren’t always leading the way in terms of sustainability. Luckily, this is changing. Sustainable and responsible ICT companies nowadays not only offer new technologies, but are also leading the way when it comes to saving the world from climate change. In this award category we’re looking for companies who are doing their upmost to operate in an environmentally friendly way.
