Adelaide, Australia – 16 June 2017 -- The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA), the nation’s peak member body for the ICT industry, has today announced the iAwards winners and merit recipients in South Australia 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. An independent panel selected by the AIIA judged all nominations.
At a gala event held last night at the Adelaide Convention Centre, Jay Weatherill, Premier of South Australia, said:
“Innovation, risk-taking and exploring new horizons are embedded in South Australia’s DNA.
“In 2017, we have a terrific opportunity to further extend that leadership into the sphere of ICT and to build on the advances we’ve already made.
“I really appreciate the work this industry does to generate jobs, and to create smart and valuable products, and congratulate every individual and business that receives recognition here this evening.”
Winners and merit recipients across all categories will go on to represent South Australia and compete at the National iAwards. National winners will be announced on 30 August 2017 at the prestigious AIIA 2017 iAwards Gala Dinner and Ceremony, held in Melbourne, which will be attended by startups, innovators, investors, business and community leaders and federal and state politicians.
