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 list will be determined by the editorial staff of Data News and will be published on September 25th 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!

Are you an ICT manager or project manager and did you successfully complete an innovative digital project over the last year (or part of a project running over several years)? Then make sure to take part in the ‘Digital Project of the Year 2023’ contest!
Please fully complete the registration form as this information will be used by the jury to make a preliminary selection of all applications. Also of note: the deadline for submitting your file is the September 29th.

A professional and academic jury will decide upon the final winners.
