Presented by TCCA, the ICCAs are regarded as the most prestigious awards in the mission critical comms industry. Discussing them in more detail, a spokesperson said: “Celebrating excellence in the sector, the highly anticipated annual programme recognises the success of products, organisations and individuals that have pushed boundaries and capabilities within the field.
“The awards are open to any organisation or individual with a compelling story to tell that has a positive impact on the critical communications world.”
The ICCAs ceremony was co-located with Critical Communications World 2025 which is taking place in Brussels all this week.
