The official Hollywood Walk of Fame mobile application is the winner of Bermuda’s 2013 TechAwards, which were held at the Brian M. O’Hara building recently.

The International Innovation of the Year award went to MediaMine, LLC for their development of the official Walk of Fame application.

During last Thursday’s awards presentation at the Celebration of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the XL Conference Center in the O’Hara Building, Nancy Volesky, director of the department of E-Commerce remarked: “This year’s recipients show how Bermudian’s technological talents have reached across the globe including reaching Hollywood, California.”

The Hollywood Walk of Fame has 15 million visitors each year, and the platform is for visitors and locals alike. A press release announcing the awards stated that all of the technical work was done in Bermuda, led by chief information officer Michael Branco and a team of Bermudian designers and coders. It revealed they used Front Street for the prototype of the Walk of Fame app and intend to further create that prototype to be utilised by visitors in Bermuda. Local Market Innovation of the Year was captured by Bermuda Aerial Media who use a state-of-art drone helicopter for aerial surveying and photography.
