Technology Ireland, the Ibec group that represents the industry, alongside award platinum sponsors EY Ireland, gold sponsors Fidelity Investments, Workhuman and Enterprise Ireland have extended their congratulations to the companies on this significant achievement. 

Following publication of the shortlisted entries, all companies will present to nine independent panels of judges, composed of CEOs and founders of successful Irish software and digital technology companies. 

Over 80 technology companies and organisations from across Ireland entered this year’s awards and winners will be announced at the first virtual Awards Broadcast, taking place on November 26th at 4pm. 

Platinum sponsor and Company of the Year sponsor Marie Treacy, Partner and Technology Sector Lead, EY Ireland said: “2020 has both tested and demonstrated the dynamism and resilience of people, businesses and communities. This has been a year where technology and innovation have taken centre stage, enabling organisations to operate in completely new ways, connecting families and loved ones and helping us to achieve things in short timeframes we never thought possible. Each of these finalists has excelled despite the major challenges this year has put in their way, and I’d like to congratulate each of them on this achievement.” 

Director of Technology Ireland Una Fitzpatrick said: “The Technology Ireland Industry awards are in their 28th year and they reflect the growing technology sector in Ireland by continuing to go from strength to strength each year.  This year we launched the new ‘Tech 4 Good’ award and have been delighted to receive a large volume of applications for this category. Therefore, we are delighted to have now two awards ‘Tech 4 Good – CSR Award’ and ‘Tech 4 Good – Product/Service Award’.”

Tech4Good award sponsor Lorna Martyn, Head of Technology, Fidelity Ireland said “Given the challenges all facets of society are experiencing this year, it is heartening to see the positive impacts our industry is making through Tech4Good. We are overwhelmed by the response and quality of applications and look forward to announcing the inaugural Tech4Good winners at the Technology Ireland awards next month.”
