Our Jury
To keep the awards selection objective WomenTech Network did not accept Award sponsorship from nominated companies and their representatives. Also Jury members were not allowed to vote in categories if there is a potential conflict of interest. The overall selection process heavily relied on and took into consideration the details of each nomination, the public voting, submission of follow-up materials, independent reasearch and the feedback from our jury working with our internal selection commitee.
