Judging process

The TechIsland Award evaluates nominees using a broad set of criteria, including impact, support, metrics, collaboration, innovation, and more. These were meticulously selected to ensure that the award goes to those making significant industry contributions with future potential.

The judging process, running from May 2nd through May 5th, is conducted by an esteemed panel comprising leaders from major local and international companies, trusted community individuals, and TechIsland Board members. This panel reviews nominations, evaluates them against the set criteria, deliberates, and finalizes the winners to be announced at the TechIsland Award Ceremony.

In a bid to maintain the utmost fairness, transparency, and objectivity in our evaluations, any judge with a close professional affiliation or relationship to a nominee, including being a nominee themselves, will not be able to vote for that specific nomination.

Furthermore, to encourage a diverse range of innovation and provide opportunities for a wider array of talent, the same individual or company will not be eligible to win the TechIsland Award in two consecutive years.

This rigorous process ensures that the TechIsland Awards go to the most deserving individuals, companies, and projects in the tech and innovation industry in Cyprus. We remain committed to upholding integrity in recognizing the best and brightest in our technology and innovation community.
