This Award recognises new digital technology, data analytics or AI application excellence in the context of relocation, international business, people management or education.

Tell us how you are accelerating innovation in your organisation. How are you using an application of emerging technologies? From cloud and 5G to artificial intelligence, how does your innovation fit into the thriving tech echo system across global mobility, HR and people management, business travel or education? Do you have a new learning and development platform or solution?
