The 2021 IoT Global Awards Announces a VIP Judging Panel

London, UK. July 7th, 2021 – A VIP judging panel of Internet of Things experts has been announced for the 4th annual IoT Global Awards by WeKnow Media Ltd, the award organisers.

This independent panel of experts from Tier 1 companies and industry bodies worldwide bring their expertise, enthusiasm, and enterprising minds to assessing a growing number of entries every year.

The chairman and co-founder of the IoT Global Awards 2021, Jeremy Cowan says, “Our VIP Awards Panel has always been a key indicator that the IoT Global Awards, now in their 4th year, are different from other awards schemes. Here there is no ‘pay-to-win’ – the Award Winners are simply chosen by 8 independent Judges with stellar reputations in the IoT industry. And this year is no different.

“The award organisers are excited to reveal a few new faces to the 2021 judging panel and are honoured to welcome back judges from the previous two years,” he says.

“Some of our judges are returning for a second year because they enjoy, as we do, discovering IoT Technical Excellence globally and Creative Business Thinking throughout the Internet of Things. We welcome three new Judges to the Panel. They all have one thing in common with our previous Panels, they bring vast IoT expertise to the task of choosing the Winners in 2021. Bluntly, we couldn’t do it without our VIP Judges and we are honoured to be working with them,” reveals Cowan.
