ABOUT
CIO OF THE YEAR
Who will be the successor to Elke Laeremans, CIO/COO Torfs, as ‘CIO of the Year’? Who do you think deserves the title CIO of the Year 2022? The voting list will be determined by the editorial staff of Data News and will be published on October 3rd 2022. The voting is open until October 30th at midnight.
The names, included on the list, are our current top 3 of the CIO’s active in our country or Belgians working abroad. They have proven that the job of CIO is one of the most exciting, challenging and important functions in the business world today. Thanks to their visionary approach, they have been successful at using ICT tools for the benefit of operational management. These CIO’s have, in the course of their careers, demonstrated strategic vision, leadership, personality and the capacity to contribute to an organization’s business strategy.
The winner of the award ‘CIO of the Year 2022’ will be chosen by a professional jury of specialists and by the readers of Data News (online voting).
ICT / DIGITAL PROJECT OF THE YEAR
The ICT / Digital Project of the Year 2022 contest rewards ICT projects and digital projects which have been successfully completed and which are innovative both in the use of technology and in the business approach. The contest is open to both private and public sector and to both large and small or medium sized organizations.
The emphasis is on ‘innovation’; projects that have achieved real added value for a company or organization thanks to clever use of digital technology. Technological innovation is important, but the impact on the business also plays a very important role.
The size of the company or the scope of the project is not important. Clever, innovative, smaller applications have just as much chance of winning as large and expensive projects. You just need to be able to demonstrate that the innovative ICT Project has given the business a real boost or added value!

19:30 | Industry transformation powered by the Cloud
Cloud has undergone a massive evolution in the past two years. Yet only 15% of companies today see cloud as a business value creator. A change of mindset is urgently needed. The emerging multi-cloud model is an ecosystem in which all clouds are connected, and everyone works together, even entire industries. In the Cloud Continuum, companies use cloud, real data, and AI strategically, continuously reinventing their organizations to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. Cloud has moved from a CIO challenge to a C-Suite opportunity. How can companies in Europe capture the next wave? SPEAKER: |
