50skills wins ICT company 2025 at the 2026 Sky ICT Awards

50skills has been named ICT Company of the Year at the 2026 Sky ICT Awards, one of the most established and prestigious technology awards in Iceland, presented annually by the Icelandic Computer Society (Ský).

The Sky ICT Awards are honorary awards recognising outstanding contributions to information technology in Iceland, with winners selected from across the country’s technology sector. Winners are selected by an independent panel of industry experts, with a focus on impact rather than promotion. That context makes this recognition a particularly meaningful moment for us.

Recognised for real world impact

In awarding 50skills the ICT Company of the Year title, the judges highlighted the tangible benefits our technology delivers to organisations. As they noted, 50skills has developed an outstanding solution for HR process automation, enabling companies to save thousands of hours of repetitive manual work so teams can focus on tasks that create more value.

At its core, this recognition is about accessibility. Automating processes should not be limited to developers or specialist technologists. It should be possible for the people closest to the work to improve how it runs. That principle continues to guide how we build and evolve the platform.

Raising the bar for HR and business process automation

Organisations across Iceland are using 50skills to reduce administrative burden, improve consistency, and create workflows that actually support how work gets done day to day. For HR teams, this includes automating onboarding steps, managing employee requests, handling contract and policy updates, and making sure approvals and handovers happen on time without manual chasing. The practical outcome is clearer processes, better audit trails, and a smoother employee experience, without adding extra work for the team.

That means spending less time navigating fragmented systems and manual processes, and more time supporting employees, managers and leaders with clarity and confidence.

The award also reflects a broader shift in expectations around workplace technology. It is no longer about demonstrating what is technically possible. It is about delivering solutions that are reliable, practical and genuinely helpful.

Built by people, shaped by customers

While awards are a moment to pause, they are also a reminder of what sits behind the technology. This recognition belongs to the people who design, build and support 50skills, and to the customers and partners who trust us with processes that matter to their organisations.

The feedback, challenges and ambitions shared by our customers continue to shape our direction and raise our standards.

Looking ahead

Being named ICT Company of the Year marks an important milestone for 50skills. It reinforces our focus on building technology that removes friction from work, supports better decision making, and delivers value beyond efficiency alone.

We are grateful to the Sky ICT Awards judges and to the wider Icelandic tech community for recognising this work, and for continuing to set a high bar for what good technology should achieve.
