Future WorkTech Awards 2021, celebrates all contributors of a Futuristic WorkLife.

As work becomes increasingly ‘borderless,’ modern offices are evolving towards a more agile, connected, and digital workplace to drive enterprise collaboration and workplace excellence. The trend of remote work continues to grow and will play a critical role in supporting next-generation workforces by breaking down barriers between the physical and virtual workplaces.
The pandemic has accelerated the pace of innovation and digital transformation; the meaning of “Work” has changed drastically, breaking down stereotypes of work culture, work environment, and workforce. Most organizations have prioritized the adoption of advanced technologies as their top business objective during the pandemic to fast-track their journey towards digitization.
After the successful completion of three editions Future WorkTech Forums in the MEA and APAC region, BII World realised the importance to recognize and uplift the contributions, collaborations, and excellence that were evident in the scope of future work.
