Welcome to the 2022 FACTORY 4.0 Digital Excellence Awards – recognizing companies, products, and services that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and leadership in digital transformation.

Winners & finalists will be announced on the event website in the Awards and Gala section.

WHY ENTER – Participation in the awards program is a great opportunity for your company and products to get recognized for excellence in digital transformation, and to showcase your unique capabilities and contributions to the digital economy.

NOMINATIONS  – Nominations can be submitted by employees of companies that have implemented relevant digitization projects, developed products and services with a strong digital component, or employees of service providers that have delivered such projects.

VOTING – Popular vote is open throughout the award nomination season and closes on October 20, 2022. Award finalists will be announced starting in late October, 2022.

SELECTION CRITERIA – Award winners and finalists will be selected primarily based on the strength of their nomination by an international jury. The popular vote is used only as a tie-breaker between otherwise equally strong nominations. Please make sure to provide sufficient data to support your nomination in the selected category.

This award aims to recognize organizations that have demonstrated success in projects where there is synergy between business and IT management disciplines, and that have delivered digitally-enabled products and services over a sustained period. We will award a technology program or project that has achieved discernible and measurable excellence. Organizations recognized are companies, which are leveraging digital and disruptive technologies like Big Data/Analytics, Cloud, Mobility, IoT, AR/VR to transform or make a significant change – often design thinking-led – to one or various processes (e.g. automation, predictive maintenance, green energy, AR/VR training); operating models (e.g. creating new revenue streams) or customer experience across one or multiple dimensions of their business (e.g. Leadership, digital and physical experiences, data transformation, operations, and the workforce/workplace).  

PROMOTION – Finally, don’t forget to promote your nomination on social media, including LinkedIn, Facebook as well as your company blog so that your friends, followers, customers, and prospects learn about the award opportunity and vote for you!

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY – You can sponsor the Awards and Gala and add the company's name on the trophies.

GALA – The gala evening will take place at the Hilton Bucharest - Salon Le Diplomat and the winners will have the opportunity to reserve seats for their own team or business partners.

Thank you for participating in this exciting awards program! Best of luck to all nominees!
