2022 is coming to an end and it’s time to take stock. What was supposed to be the year of rebirth and post-pandemic relaunch has actually seen its wings clipped by a series of other unfortunate events, which have led to a bit of new complex situations for everyone to face. Even the world of technology was not saved, with many large companies in the sector which, during the year, found themselves forced to drastically reduce their workforce to cope with a not exactly exciting market trend.
But let’s put pessimism aside for a moment because in any case, despite the difficulties, this year too we had companies that managed to distinguish themselves and bring to the market solutions worthy of note and able to move, for one reason or another our interest. In defiance of traditions, however, this year no annual pagellone! In fact, we have decided not to give votes to companies as we do every year but, as in a hymn to positivity and good omens, reward those who, in our opinion, have been the best products of this 2022. We have obviously divided them into categories and within each category we have awarded various prizes, some generic and others based on certain characteristics almost always linked to positioning.
Well, let’s not get lost in any more chatter and let’s get straight to the point. Here you are the HDBLOG AWARDS 2022!
