The breadth of Australian ICT innovation was recently on show with the announcement of the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) 2009 iAwards winners.

The 27 winning entries across 19 categories were presented their awards in front of 600 attendees at the 2009 iAwards Gala Dinner held at the Crown Casino Melbourne on May 27 and hosted by Victorian ICT minister, John Lenders.

The awards, ranging from e-Health solutions to new forms of entertainment and 21st century business initiatives, highlighted Australian Innovation, AIIA CEO Ian Birks said in a statement.

“As the iAwards enters its 15th presentation this year, we continue to witness the strength of Australian technology innovation,” he said. ”These innovations will generate new market opportunities and improve the productivity of Australian businesses as a whole.”

“AIIA congratulates the winners of the 2009 iAwards as they have demonstrated clever ways to solve the challenges Australian and global industries are facing, through the use of ICT.”

The 2009 iAwards winners will be invited to represent Australia in the Asia-Pacific ICT Awards (APICTA) in Melbourne later this year where they will compete with the best ICT companies recognised in the Asia Pacific region.
