Who will be our 16th CIO of the Year? And who will win an award for the Digital/ICT Project of the Year?
Discover it on December 7th.

ICT / Digital Project of the Year
Did you have an innovative and successful ICT project? Were you able to successfully execute an ambitious digital transformation within your company or department? Did your digital project truly excel and/or accelerate the business goals? If so, you might have had a chance to win one of our prestigious ICT / Digital Project of the Year awards. The central theme of DataNews CIO of the Year 2023 revolved around security. Naturally, submitted projects were not required to specifically revolve around the theme of security, and we were open to all ICT/digital projects.

About
CIO of the Year
Who will be the next ‘CIO of the Year’?
Who will be the successor to Philippe Van Belle, CIO AG Insurance, as ‘CIO of the Year’? Who do you think deserves the title CIO of the Year 2023? The voting is open until October 20th 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 2023’ 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 2023 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!
A professional and academic jury will decide upon the final winners.
