Rating: Prizes for winners include CTO and VC/IPO boot camps
The Tech Trailblazers Awards have been officially launched to champion innovative tech start-ups worldwide. Designed explicitly for enterprise tech start-ups that are less than five years old and at C-level funding or below, the awards proactively help start-ups grow their businesses with exclusive coaching, mentoring and development services worth tens of thousands of dollars. The awards are focused on the key enterprise IT sectors of mobile, cloud, infosecurity, networking, storage and virtualisation. The Awards open for entries July 18th [2012].Unlike many other awards, the Tech Trailblazers are not tied to a particular event or publication.
Instead it is completely independent and global. Additionally, there are sustainable IT and emerging markets categories.
“Tech Trailblazers offers a forum for game-changing new technologies and amazing young companies to showcase their products and services,” Stephen O’Donnell, chairman of the Tech Trailblazers judging panel, observed.
He added, “We have assembled a world-class team of judges on the panel commensurate with the quality of entries we expect. The prizes and publicity for winning entries will ensure an exciting contest.”
Judges include many of GoMobile News‘ old mates including Steve Broadhead, founder and Director of Broadband-Testing Labs and Mike Burkitt, CTO, Launchpad Europe.
All entrants to the Tech Trailblazers Awards will win a prize of commercial value, even if they do not place in the awards.
The growing prize fund, worth an estimated $1 million plus and is supported by industry vendors, analysts, venture capitalists, government bodies, the media, event partners and other industry-specific services.
Sponsors to date include MIT/Stanford Venture Lab, the Cloud Security Alliance, Prezi, RealWire, MyNewsDesk, and ExecEvent.
