Commenting on the launch of the 7th Annual TechAwards, Tony Moretta, CEO, Digital Jersey, said: “Every year our flagship awards have become bigger and better – last year we were nearly at capacity for our ceremony at the Jersey Royal Showground, which is a fantastic reflection of how our local digital sector is thriving. We have continued to make enhancements to the Awards again this year, with the addition of a new AI award, and I am also really pleased to have EWG on board as our new headline sponsor.
“I’m looking forward to seeing entries from right across our private, public and third sectors for our seventh awards as we look to champion innovation, celebrate the island’s top tech talent and reward those going the extra mile to make the future better for all of us.”
Alan Yates, Director at EWG, added: “We are delighted to be supporting the Jersey TechAwards as headline sponsor for the first time this year. These awards really illustrate the depth of digital expertise we are fortunate to have in Jersey, and as a leading Jersey FinTech, we believe it’s important to continue to recognise the excellence in innovation and talent we have on the Island.”
