MISSION
On its third year, the RemTECH Awards are developed by IMTC Conferences in partnership with Mohr World Consulting to showcase the most innovative and outstanding technological solutions designed to improve remittance services worldwide. Welcoming newcomers and veterans alike, we want to foster an environment of collaboration to streamline cross-border money transfers and better serve the migrants, expats, and businesses who rely on them.
CATEGORIES
Entrants must choose one of the following categories as their Main Category. They will also have the chance to choose a Secondary Category: End User Experience, B2B Solution (Back-Office Solution/ FX Management/ Treasury/ Customer Service), Compliance Innovation (RegTech/ KYC/ AML/ CTF), Remittances for Development Solution, Technology Innovation and Remittance Synergies Solution. Click on each category to see a description.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Innovations that contribute to development, benefit the market ecosystem and improve transparency, speed, cost and reliability for the companies and end-users that send and receive remittances every day.
- Entries can be projects, services, products, research, programs, campaigns, or activities released AFTER June 30, 2016.
- Aspects of entries relating before this date will not be accepted. However, entries may still be in concept or pilot phase to-date.
- Businesses, organizations, collectives, and individuals of all-levels of establishment from anywhere in the world are welcomed to apply.
HOSTS
This year the RemTECH Awards Ceremony will be hosted at the IMTC EMEA 2019 Conference in London, UK. The RemTECH Awards have been done in partnership with the Global Forum for Remittance, Investment, and Development (GFRID), first in New York at the GFRID2017 in the United Nations and last year at the GFRID2018 at Asia- Pacific event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The RemTECH Awards are aligned with the GFRID vision & objectives, committed to raising awareness about the power of innovation, facilitating dialogue between entrepreneurs, international organizations and governments to promote collaboration on the contribution of migrant remittances to development by building partnerships to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As we are also very interested in the power of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) – Blockchain and Virtual Currencies & Tokens, to democratize the remittance industry, the RemTECH Awards have been included as a United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) blockchain initiative.
JUDGES
The Judging Panel is made of individuals that have been selected by IMTC and represent the mission and vision of the organization, the partners and the sponsors, executives with a proven track record in Fintech and remittances. Each judge will score each entry based on the judging criteria to determine the 2019 finalists by June 3. These winners will receive their trophy at the Awards Ceremony hosted at IMTC EMEA 2019 event.
