The Northern Territory Digital Excellence Awards showcases and celebrates individuals and organisations for outstanding digital achievement and innovation in the Territory.
Digital technology is critical to the economic development and jobs growth in the Territory. In 2018 the Northern Territory (NT) Government launched the first Digital Territory strategy and the digital industry has been identified in the Territory Economic Reconstruction Commission's final report as a key sector to drive growth.
