The Awards programme hailed the best and the brightest organisations who have delivered ground-breaking business value through the innovative application of technology.
“The technology industry is in many ways defined by hype and excitement about what the future holds. In some ways, this is a good thing. It’s a testament to humanity’s passion for innovation, progress and, tools that will change our lives,” said James Dartnell, Editor, TahawulTech.com
The inaugural edition of Future Entperise Awards was attended by more than 200 industry stalwarts, and recognised 25 organisations and individuals.
