The IIA recognizes outstanding innovations across different industries worldwide that have exhibited remarkable contributions in the categories of Product, Service and Solution, and Organization and Culture. Winners of each category were judged using a stringent set of metrics and audit interviews to determine how the innovations significantly impacted the communities they serve while at the same time making their businesses sustainable.
Aside from the IIA 2021, RCBC’s DiskarTech was also recognized by the London-based Global Banking & Finance Review as part of The Next 100 Global Awards for 2021.
