SIME Awards this year focuses on 2 categories (as explained in the prev. post)
“SIME Rising Stars from the North” and “SIME Grand Prize”, the former committed to finding the next Skype from Scandinavia, the later awarding the “most innovative big company”.

We at SIME started working behind the scenes through the summer, stealthily attending various entrepreneurial events, going to places where the young minds congregated, going for the geek girl meet up’s, going for those likemind and social media lunches, we took all the effort to make sure we covered every corner of the entrepreneurial news sources, and voila, we came up with a grand list of companies that we thought were befitting to be considered for our prize.

Then we hand picked some top digital minds within Scandinavia, the one’s that in their sleep dream of startup’s and new media, and the one’s that help big companies make such dreams come true, the geeks, the big intrapreneurs, and in all true spirit of SIME, with a smile on their face, they congregated like in the Vatican secret conclave, went through the long lists, and came up with their jury words of wisdom.
