Announcement posted by Filtered Media | telling your story, brilliantly 02 Jun 2017
Sydney, Australia – 2 June 2017 -- The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) has announced the iAwards state winners and merit recipients in New South Wales (NSW) for 2017. AIIA’s iAwards is Australia’s leading awards program for innovation in the digital economy.
Entrants competed in five core award categories comprising Business Services, Community Services, Consumer Markets, Industrial & Primary Services, and Public Sector & Government. Entrants have also been successfully recognised for additional contributions – as startup of the year, research & development project of the year, and as outstanding infrastructure and platform innovations.
Winners and merit recipients across all categories will go on to represent NSW and compete at the National iAwards in Melbourne. National winners will be announced on 30 August 2017 at the prestigious AIIA Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony, being attended by startups, innovators, investors, business and community leaders and federal and state politicians.
Senator the Hon. Arthur Sinodinos, Federal Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, and the Hon. Philip Dalidakis MLC, Victorian Minister for Small Business, Innovation and Trade, will make presentations on the evening.
In New South Wales, the AIIA also awarded the NSW Premier’s Award for Public Sector Transformation, of which the winner was chosen by a panel of iAwards Category Judges in conjunction with New South Wales government representatives.
The Hon. Victor Dominello MP, Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation, said, “To stay ahead of the game we must continue to deliver services which are fit-for-purpose in the digital age across every aspect of government. The NSW Government has the ability and capacity to be a world leader in digital service delivery and it is important that we recognise those public servants that have worked tirelessly to improve services for customers through digital innovation.”
Matt Wynn Jones, Chair of the AIIA NSW Council, added that the purpose of the iAwards is to uncover and reward innovation that makes a positive impact on broader society. “We are seeing an increased focus on innovation in new areas. I am always overwhelmed with the calibre of entrants from NSW and this year is no exception with an outstanding line up of finalists,” said Matt Wynn Jones, Chair of the AIIA NSW Council.
“I am also greatly encouraged by the level of diversity this year with representatives from all sectors of the information industry including research, academia, government as well as both large and small business. The Innovators also come from all over the state with good representation from metro, regional and remote areas.”
