Are you Startup of the Year material?
WAITTA has opened up nominations for its 34th INCITE Awards and if you’ve been hustling for the last year to build your startup, you should consider applying.
The INCITE Awards have been celebrating some of the best talent and projects in WA since their inception in 1991. Yep, that’s a long time ago and makes them older than most WA startup founders. The award categories have expanded over time and the Startup of the Year award is a relatively new one, introduced to shine a spotlight on some of the WA founders doing big things in the ICT sector.
Last year, Startup of the Year was awarded to Conifr Technologies.
This year, the award categories have been revised to reflect the rapidly changing tech sector.
