Hi Guys,

The App of the Year Awards is a springboard for creative developers and their original solutions.

Speaking at the MTN App of the Year breakfast session in Sunnyside Park Hotel, Greg Hatfield, MTN Business General Manager Product and Solutions says: “The awards are not only about the big prize that developers and businesses stand to win, but most importantly the awards are about empowering developers and businesses to thrive in the Bold, New Digital World.”

“At MTN Business, we fully support the awards as a vehicle, which recognises local talent that create solutions to respond to real South African needs,” says Greg.
