The National Infocomm Awards (NIA) is a biennial event that was first launched in September 2001. Jointly organised by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) and the Singapore infocomm Technology Federation (SiTF), the Awards is the industry's highest accolade for infocomm innovation in Singapore. The Awards are targeted at infocomm vendors and service providers in Singapore, and also organisations that use infocomm. These include public sector organisations and Singapore-registered private sector organisations including small and medium-sized enterprises.

Objectives

NIA serves two purposes. First, it provides a platform to recognise innovative products and services from infocomm companies in Singapore. Second, it gives recognition to private and public organisations which harness infocomm technologies to ensure their organisations' effectiveness and efficiency. This recognition will help establish a brand name for infocomm leaders in Singapore and inspire other industry players to pursue the world-class benchmark set by the winners.

Award Categories

The following are the Awards categories and there are up to a maximum of three winners in each category/sub-category.

a) Most Innovative Use of Infocomm Technology

• Public Sector
