Judging and Criteria
The IDC Future Enterprise Awards follows a two-phased approach to determine the country and regional winners. Each nomination is evaluated by IDC’s country and regional analysts against a standard assessment framework based on IDC’s Future Enterprise taxonomy. All country winners will then qualify for the regional competition, where a regional panel of judges comprised of IDC worldwide analysts, industry thought leaders, and members of the academia will determine the regional winners
