"The European Technology Awards drive European technological innovation

The fourth edition of these awards celebrated the successes of companies, startups, and professionals in the technology sector in Europe

Beyond its historical and cultural charm, the choice of Paris as the setting for this technological event was not accidental but strategic. The French capital, known as 'The City of Light,' nestled in the heart of Europe, has long been a cultural and economic center and, in recent decades, has emerged as a significant technological hub. With its unique combination of history, art, and modernity, Paris provides an inspiring backdrop to celebrate innovative achievements in the technological sphere.

The organization wanted, once again, for the Ritz Hotel in Paris to become the perfect setting for the fourth edition of the European Technology Awards. Its iconic Christmas tree, located on the main staircase, welcomed technology professionals from across Europe: from long-established companies to startups, entrepreneurs, and business leaders who have excelled in the competitive world of technology.

The evening began with an elegant welcome cocktail, where attendees had the opportunity to connect and share ideas in a relaxed atmosphere. Subsequently, the organizers led the attendees to the Vendôme hall, where the awards ceremony took place, highlighting the achievements and contributions of technology professionals.

The gala opened with a musical performance. Next, Antonio Queijeiro, the Awards director, delivered an opening speech emphasizing the importance of innovation in the European technological landscape. "Today, we celebrate not only individual achievements but also collaboration, teamwork, and the innovative mindset that drives success and transformation in the technological and business fields," said the director.

Companies and professionals from France, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Ireland, or Portugal were called to the stage to receive the statuette and diploma recognizing their work in an ever-changing and evolving sector.

The ceremony was divided into two parts, each preceded by musical performances that added an artistic touch to the night. Raquel Castro and Andrés López, as masters of ceremonies, guided the audience through the list of awardees, highlighting the diversity and excellence in the European technology sector. Among the awardees, top-level companies such as Bang & Olufsen, Mersus Technologies, or DXC Technology stood out.

After receiving their awards, the winners shared words of gratitude in moving speeches that highlighted the effort and dedication behind their innovations.

A common theme in the winners' speeches was the importance of teamwork and the trust of customers and users.

Pablo Suñer, manager of the Professional and Business Excellence Institute, took the floor in the final part for the closing speech. His message focused on the importance of continuing to promote excellence in the technological field and emphasized the organizing company's commitment to driving innovation.

The event featured the collaboration of prominent professionals from the worlds of design and fashion. Almerian designer Sergi Regal elegantly dressed both the presenter, Raquel Castro, and the event coordinator, Pilar Rodríguez, while stylist Tomás Salcedo showcased his talent in hairstyling and makeup for the entire organization team."
