Awards celebrate success stories in fast-growing digital sector
AWARDS showcasing the very best in Wales’ thriving digital sector have been launched.
Now in their fourth year, the WalesOnline Digital Awards 2020 will recognise businesses and entrepreneurs making an outstanding contribution to the sector.
This year the principal sponsor is again Admiral Group. There are 10 categories, including best digital start-up of the year, app of the year and best young person in tech.
Head of change at Admiral, Matt Wintle, said: “Admiral are proud to sponsor the WalesOnline Digital Awards for the second year running.
“It is great for Admiral, a company with technology at its heart, to be given the opportunity to help recognise the fantastic achievements being delivered in Wales.
“Last year’s list of nominees and winners were inspiring, and I am sure we will see a similar calibre of entrant this year. We look forward to a great day of tech celebration.”
Editor-in-chief of WalesOnline, Paul Rowland, said: “These awards will again showcase the excellence that exists in Wales’ fast-expanding digital sector, from established innovative firms and entrepreneurs driving impressive market share, to exciting start-ups with huge potential for growth.
“For the Welsh economy to thrive in an ever-increasing digital world, where advances in automation will radically change how we live and work, we need a sector that is not only vibrant, but fleet-of-foot to exploit the huge commercial opportunities that will arise.
“It is hoped the finalists and winners of the WalesOnline Digital Awards 2020 will encourage a new wave of businesses and innovators to follow in their footsteps.”
