Tech Hero Award

Tech Heroes are the exponents of a new economic and social reality. They are the companies that, under the motto ‘adopt or die’, have managed to create significant value in an increasingly erratic market dynamic. In fact, they are the companies that have helped drive digital progress. And that deserves recognition and an award. Top executives, IT leaders and digital transformation bosses like to look at organizations like Bol.com, Adyen, Coolblue, Picnic and other Dutch success stories. For example, to see how they are coping with social and/or economic uncertainty, increasingly demanding consumers and a competitive and constantly changing playing field. Leadership and embracing all digital opportunities and developments play a key role in this.
