Tony Moretta, CEO of Digital Jersey, said: "We are thrilled to see Jersey’s digital best celebrated in this way. We had so many excellent and vastly diverse entries for these awards, testament to the fantastic work being done around the island to grow our digital industry. Huge congratulations go to our first ever Jersey TechAwards winners, all of whom really stand out as exceptional contributors to our industry."
David Cartwright, chairman of BCS Jersey, added: "An exciting evening saw ten extremely worthy winners take home awards that acknowledge their excellence and their contribution to the technology industry in Jersey. One must also acknowledge the others on the shortlist: we had dozens of very strong entries but, of course, not everyone can win an award. When we conceived the Tech Awards the intention was to make it an annual event, and I hope next years will be both stronger and more plentiful."
Chris Clark, CEO of Prosperity 24/7, said it was an honour to be able to sponsor the awards. He added: "As we all know, technology is pervasive and is the life blood of Industry in Jersey. Seeing this recognised, applauded and celebrated last night amongst 250 peers, creates an indelible mark in the memories of all who attended. The positive energy and ground swell regarding the potential for digital transformation to support productivity and innovation across our economy is an accolade that Digital Jersey should also take pride in, as they act as the focus point for us all to support, enabling the Digital economy to continue to grow and prosper."
