CES 2016: Intel, Samsung, in mobile excellence honours

Intel and Samsung were among the few high-profile technology companies sharing the honours in the annual Mobile Excellence Awards announced at CES in Las Vegas last week.

Low-profile players and companies not normally associated with technology dominated the Mobile Excellence Awards announced at CES in Las Vegas last week. Among high-profile technology names, only Intel and Samsung made the honours list.

Now in its 9th year, the Mobile Excellence Awards (MEA) recognises companies “that have truly set the bar of excellence in their respective fields”.  Honorees range from leading brands to studios, carriers and startups in mobile technology, entertainment and lifestyle.

Aside from officially announcing the 2015 Best of Mobile winners at CES, it also revealed plans to launch the first MEA Europe which will take place in Ireland in conjunction with the ICONS Festival, a global festival that focuses on the convergence of technology, music and film.

“We are very excited to be moving into our 9th year with new partners, sponsors innovators and leaders who have  been instrumental in shaping the future of mobile.” said Sarah Miller, CEO of Axis PR & Entertainment and Executive Producer, Mobile Excellence Awards. “The MEAs are looking forward to expanding this prestigious awards program to Europe this year as this will give more international companies a wider platform to be recognized  and help bridge technology innovation across multiple countries.”
