TECH INNOVATIONS AND TRANSFORMATIVE INITIATIVES RECOGNISED AT IBC AWARDS
This year IBC’s Awards have a new look and are more closely aligned with the content programme running throughout the show. Two award ceremonies will be held – The Innovation Awards and The Social Impact Awards. The Innovation Awards celebrate the technology, research and innovative thinking that is driving the industry forward in a new software- and services-led direction. The Social Impact Awards, meanwhile, are part of this year’s Changemaker Programme, with its theme of People and Purpose. They focus on diversity, sustainability and tech for good.
