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’.”
