The winners of the Luxembourg Cloud Awards 2021 have been revealed on Thursday, July1st, 2020 during the Golden-i Gala broadcasted from the Auditorium of PwC Luxembourg during a 100% virtual event.
This year, two categories were open for applications.

In the “Cloud Innovation Project of the Year” category, 3 projects were distinguished by the jury:
- Accenture, for the project “Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) API solution” set up together with LuxHub;
- NTT Luxembourg PSF which worked together with Laboratoires Réunis using AWS public cloud to enable COVID-19 mass scale testing in Luxembourg;
- Telindus Luxembourg which supported Autopolis in the deployment of its new Microsoft 365 environment in Telindus’ hybid cloud.
The “Cloud Innovation Project of the Year” category award goes to: NTT Luxembourg PSF
“The Luxembourg Government needed a rapid solution to implement mass testing to reduce the future impact of the pandemic and be able to manage the situation. NTT Luxembourg together with Laboratoires Réunis were able to develop a fully digital system to manage the testing process in only four weeks. The jury was impressed by the short time frame to implement the solution and by how the project’s stakeholders dealt with the challenge of medical data privacy using AWS public cloud.” said Ananda Kautz, Chairwoman of the 2021 Jury.
« We are excited to receive this year’s Cloud Innovation Project of The Year Award for the Large Scale Testing project together with Laboratoires Réunis. The project did link a lot of different stakeholders from research, healthcare, government, and the industry into something entirely unique. It was clear that in the given timeframe, a cloud native development was the only possible answer to such a challenge.
The project did win already multiple awards and stands for a new generation of people in the healthcare sector in Luxembourg. We see them everywhere in our country. They are CIOs, CDOs, researchers, doctors and politicians. They are located at LIH, the Ministry of Economy, the local hospitals and laboratories and plenty of other organizations. Our country has a huge potential because we have brilliant people, and this is just the start of a journey in healthcare» Michael Mossal, Senior Digital Transformation Director, NTT Luxembourg PSF
