I was honoured to participate as a judge among peers to the judging process. It does not mean at all I voted for all the winners, given this is a collective judgement. There were some very interesting players in the nominees and in the entrants and there are also plenty of compelling services as well as innovative start-ups at the show here that did not necessarily apply for the award.

The full list of winners in the other categories is available here.
