Recognising Tasmania’s ICT excellence

The best and brightest minds from across Tasmania’s information and communication technology sector have been celebrated at the 2019 TasICT Awards dinner in Hobart.

The iAwards and TasICT Awards for ICT Excellence honour organisations, individuals and students at the cutting edge of technology, and recognise the achievements of our home-grown innovators.

These awards allow us to reflect on the excellence we have represented in this sector across the state, highlighting the talent we can cultivate right here in Tasmania.

The Hodgman Liberal Government has been a long-time supporter of TasICT, the peak body for the ICT sector in Tasmania, and is proud to once again sponsor this event.

We are committed to working closely with industry to help nurture the future growth of the industry, embrace the value that it presents to our economy and harness its power to improve the lives of all Tasmanians.

Congratulations to all of the 2019 Tasmanian iAward and TasICT Awards for Excellence winners and good luck to those iAward winners who are now through to the National iAwards, to be held in Melbourne in August.
