FIT Wins the Techies Go Green Sustainability Award at the Tech Excellence Awards 2026
The Tech Excellence Awards 2026 brought together some of Ireland's most innovative organisations for an evening that celebrated excellence across the technology sector.
Held at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dublin, the event recognised the people and organisations using technology to solve real problems, create opportunities, and make a lasting impact.
Among the highlights of the evening was the Techies Go Green Sustainability Award, a category that recognises organisations making sustainability a core part of their work. More than simply rewarding good ideas, the award celebrates organisations that are delivering measurable results through long-term commitment, innovation, and practical action.

🏆 After an outstanding selection of finalists, congratulations go to Fastrack into Information Technology (FIT), who were announced as the winners of the Techies Go Green Sustainability Award 2026.
