Commenting on the shortlist, Tony Moretta, CEO, Digital Jersey, said: ‘We have some truly innovative and inspiring individuals and businesses on this year’s shortlist who are really driving our local tech capabilities to ensure a better future for all.
“Last year’s awards were our biggest yet and I expect our 7th Annual ceremony, gratefully supported by headline sponsor EWG, will be equally if not more impressive as we celebrate our thriving digital sector.”
Main sponsor EWG delivers a digital global alternative to traditional banking systems, offering international cross-border payment solutions and multi-currency account services for the fiduciary, corporate and fund sectors.
Alan Yates, Director at EWG, said: “This shortlist highlights the incredible digital talent we are fortunate to have on Island and I am delighted that EWG is able to support the Jersey TechAwards as headline sponsor for the first time this year.
“As a leading Jersey FinTech, we believe it’s vital to recognise the high calibre talent we have locally so that we remain on the digital front foot and inspire a new generation of leaders in the tech sector.”
