Tony Moretta, CEO of Digital Jersey, said: “The inaugural Jersey TechAwards were one of the standout highlights of last year for me. It was a rare moment for all those working in the sector to stop and truly take stock of the great work that’s happening in the island.”
“The addition of two new awards for this year means we can showcase the groundbreaking efforts being made to put information security high on the agenda. And, in the year we open our new Digital Skills Academy, I am delighted we have two chances to highlight the work of technology students – our next-generation workforce.”
