The 23rd WAiTTA – Western Australian Information Technology and Telecommunications Awards Finalists have been announced.
It’s clear that we have another sensational team of innovators who will battle it out to gain their place in the national iAwards program and hopefully onto the Asia Pacific awards, APICTA.
The WAiTTA platform is an invaluable part of the Western Australia innovation scene. It provides its participants access to the best publicity that money CAN’T buy and limitless connections who will prove beneficial to our creative disruptors as they commercialise their ideas. Stimulating both our economy and our presence on the world map of development.
If you are any kind of entrepreneur, it is certainly worth while to become informed about these programmes as they are a key factor in launching your product or service on a global scale.
