The winners of the sixth annual Jersey TechAwards reflect a digital ecosystem in Jersey that is increasingly diverse and that is positively impacting all areas of island life, according to Tony Moretta, CEO of Digital Jersey.
Organised by Digital Jersey and with C5 Alliance as headline sponsor, the 6th Annual Jersey TechAwards took place last week (26 April) at the Royal Jersey Showground, hosted by top stand-up comedian Hal Cruttenden. The event also included a welcome drinks reception sponsored by EWG & Currency Cloud, as well as live music from Slap and Tickle and the Ruby Rouge Band.
Attended by more than 500 people, this was the biggest ever Jersey TechAwards event, demonstrating both the growth of the digital sector and an ongoing rise in the adoption of technology in traditionally non-digital sectors of the economy.
