We are proud to announce the 15th edition of the Digital Innovation Awards (DIA)—formerly known as the Ghana Information Technology & Telecom Awards (GITTA)—a premier platform dedicated to recognizing excellence in digital innovation across Africa.
Marking its 15th year, DIA has evolved into a Pan-African benchmark for digital excellence, celebrating organisations and leaders driving transformative change across key sectors including government, telecommunications, fintech, banking, healthcare, agriculture, education, infrastructure, and the creative economy.
At its core, DIA exists to identify, honour, and amplify the individuals and institutions shaping Africa’s digital future—those deploying technology not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for economic growth, inclusion, and societal advancement.
Over the years, DIA has grown beyond recognition into a strategic platform for influence, spotlighting:
Our objective is clear: to accelerate the development of a resilient and globally competitive African digital economy by rewarding excellence and inspiring the next wave of innovation.
The 15th edition will culminate in a high-impact awards gala, blending prestige, culture, and technology in a uniquely curated experience. The evening will convene Africa’s most influential digital leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators, offering:
DIA is not just an awards platform—it is a continental movement advancing Africa from digital ambition to digital leadership.
Every nomination undergoes a blind, multi-layered assessment by an independent panel of industry experts, technologists, and thought leaders. Our criteria prioritize real-world impact, scalability, technical excellence, and measurable outcomes, not just brand recognition.
Building on the legacy of GITTA, the DIA operates with a clear, open framework. From submission guidelines to final scoring, every step is designed to ensure fairness and credibility.
We celebrate solutions that are actively reshaping industries, empowering communities, and driving digital transformation across Africa and beyond. Winning a DIA means your innovation is proven, purposeful, and poised for the future
