APAC digital leaders score wins in innovation awards

From implementing blockchain technology to improve the traceability of its products, to deploying drones to monitor the health of its crops, Mondelez has been firing on all cylinders to drive innovation across its business.

The company behind Oreo biscuits and Cadbury chocolates was recognised at this year’s Computer Weekly Innovation Awards APAC for its bold programme – Innovations @ Mondelez – to tap new and emerging technologies for tangible business benefits.

Besides Mondelez, other digital trailblazers across the region were also recognised for their efforts to improve operational efficiencies, customer experience and public safety, and in one instance, to deliver clean drinking water to rural communities.

Over the course of four weeks, organisations from Australia, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and other countries nominated some 30 projects, which were shortlisted by a panel of judges comprising IT leaders and industry analysts.

Each project was assessed based on its business impact and value, innovation in solving a business problem and change management, which is instrumental to the success of any digital transformation initiative.

During a BrightTalk webinar, IT and business executives from across the region tuned in to learn about the winning projects and the outcomes that were achieved. Here are the winning entries:
