The World Summit Award (WSA) is a global activity to select and promote the world's best
e-content and most innovative ICT applications. It offers a worldwide platform for all who value the creative use of ICT. The World Summit Awards honour excellence in e-content/applications. Forty winners (5 in each category) are selected globally A special emphasis is placed on those projects which show the benefits of information and communication technology for the development of society at large. Over and above the judging criteria the judges look for the 'value add' to NZ - what are the products & services that can we put on the global stage to increase both NZ visibility & create international sales. This is a great showcase for the innovative & clever thinking that is going on in NZ. The World Summit Award (WSA) has been a resounding success for New Zealand since 2003.
