ORGANISERS

You’re of course aware of T-Mobile as a leader in the telecommunications field, where we provide services to more than 6.3 million customers, but far fewer people have met our employees behind these services. There are almost 2,000 of us and our IT department provides services within the group to many other European countries. We employ, among others, a range of developers, analysts, and DevOps engineers. So, our participation in organizing this competition to draw attention to new talents in the field clearly makes sense. And logically, this has led to the creation of the “Magenta Award for Excellence in IT”.
