As far as Vodafone is concerned, the company was awarded in the Best Technology Innovation – Best Customer Application category, thanks to the Vodafone Smart Store Retail project. The company's ability to integrate technological innovation solutions in sales processes and customer support in the retail sector was recognized, such as electronic signatures, new tablet apps for entering orders and new PC data consultation solutions or tablets.
UBI Banca received a special prize from the jury for Enjoy Ski, for placing technological innovation at the service of the customer with this project. Enjoy Ski, in fact, combines the payment functions of the Enjoy card with that of direct access to the ski lifts without the need to purchase the ski pass in advance in all the affiliated Districts which are currently Adamello Ski Pontedilegno-Tonale and Madonna di Campiglio (through Banca di Valle Camonica) and Brembo Ski (through Banca Popolare di Bergamo).
