The Globee Awards for Technology, formerly known as the IT World Awards, were established in 2006 by the US-based Network Products Guide to recognise outstanding technology products, services and innovations worldwide. 

The awards cover areas including artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, cybersecurity and information technology infrastructure, with winners selected by an independent panel of technology experts through a transparent evaluation process.

Viettel's awards spanned a broad range of technology fields, including cloud computing, AI, big data, telecommunications, digital infrastructure, digital finance and logistics.

In cloud infrastructure, Viettel IDC secured four awards for its 'Make in Vietnam' products, including the Viettel Virtual Private Cloud service and the Viettel Open Kubernetes Service platform, both designed to meet Việt Nam's data sovereignty requirements.

In AI, the Viettel TESSEL.AI platform, which automates retail operations at more than 200,000 points of sale, and the Viettel Money digital financial platform each received Gold 'Best of Category' awards.

In telecommunications, the iSpectra network interference monitoring system and the Viettel Open Gateway API standardisation platform were recognised for their contributions to connectivity infrastructure development.

Internationally, Viettel Burundi, operating under the Lumitel brand, was honoured for expanding nationwide digital connectivity and developing 4G and 5G mobile broadband infrastructure.

Other award-winning initiatives included Viettel Skybook, Việt Nam's first Electronic Flight Bag platform for the aviation industry, Viettel IDC's sustainable data centre initiative, and the Outstanding Transformation Leader award presented to a Viettel Digital executive for contributions to advancing financial inclusion in Việt Nam.

According to Viettel, the awards reflect the breadth of its technology ecosystem and reinforce the competitiveness of its 'Make in Viettel' products in international markets.
