The Association of New Technologies Companies of Girona (AENTEG) celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary with a special gala at the Girona Municipal Theatre. The event included the twentieth edition of the E-TECH Awards, which honor the work of companies, institutions, entities, and individuals contributing to the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the region.
Among the authorities present were the mayor of Girona, Lluc Salellas; the second vice-president of the Provincial Council of Girona, Gemma Geis; the director of the Territorial Services of Business and Labor, Pau Rich; the president of the FOEG, Ernest Plana, and the president of AENTEG, Albert Alemany.
The award for the best initiative in Local Administration went to DATUR, by Bim Consultors. Deputy Joan Plana presented the award, highlighting the rigor in the solution's creation, demand study, campaign impact, and tourism expenditure implemented in over seventy municipalities.
“"We live in an era of profound and accelerated changes. Digitalization is no longer an option, but a reality that shapes how we work, relate, learn, and provide public services. But this process also represents a great opportunity: an opportunity to generate economic activity, retain talent, improve citizens' quality of life, and build a more cohesive and competitive territory."
“"The Girona region has all the necessary elements to face this challenge with guarantees: talent, entrepreneurship, innovative capacity, and solid collaboration between the public sector, the private sector, and the world of knowledge."
Other awardees include Solventa6 (BBVA Award for sustainable strategy), Easypromos (Award in artificial intelligence and digital transformation), AISELVA (Award for best management in language and communication in ICT), Playbrand (Award for best digital marketing campaign), TOTHOM (International Award), GNA Hotel Solutions (Award for ICT company trajectory), Megatró (Award for emerging technological project), and Dani Oliveras from Eurofirms Grup (Award for best CIO).
The E-TECH Referent awards went to Francesc Varela and David Comas, founders and CEOs of Nexus Geographics, recognized for transforming their company into an international benchmark. The selection for these two awards is made directly by the AENTEG board and the Territorial Services of Linguistic Policy of the Generalitat, respectively, while the other eight categories were decided by a specialized jury.
