For the twelfth consecutive year, the CIO Awards are being organized by IDG’s CIO Sweden in cooperation with Accenture. The gala is known as the Oscars for Swedish IT companies and it aims to showcase the key role CIOs play in Swedish companies and organizations. The prize is awarded to the individual who has shown great understanding of the business and who has been innovative in adding value to a company or organization.
