If enabling solution was developed by a single organization, even if using services from different providers, you can apply alone, bringing your own story.


### You developed an AI or frontier technology solution that is helping clients, or partners, transforming their processes

If you are a startup or a tech provider, we want to understand how you've worked with your clients and partners to create impact with AI or frontier technologies. In this case, you must apply together, and both organizations must be involved.


### You are enabling completely new scenarios or connecting ecosystems

If your AI or frontier technologies solutions is used in scenarios that go beyond the first two scenarios i.e. you're not using AI to transform processes internally, but you're enabling new market dynamics or ecosystems behaviours, apply alone.

Recognition includes the C-level executive leading the solution, and up to five contributors from product, business, or technical teams.
