The CTO of the Year is an inspiring team-builder and leader, adds significant value to the company through technology, and communicates the benefits of technology to all stakeholders in an understandable way. You can nominate anyone who is responsible for their company’s technology in Finland. The title of the CTO of the Year is awarded annually to highlight the importance of Chief Technology Officers to the future competitiveness of Finnish industries.

The award recognises the most successful technology leaders in two categories: Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SME) and Large Enterprises.

For over 10 years the CTO of the Year Award has been given to distinguished persons in the industry. We see that their best counterparts in academia should be awarded as well, and 2023 year we awarded the third Innovation Professor of the Year.
