incuBeta is the proud recipient of the TT100 Award for Overall Winner in the Small/Medium Business Category in South Africa. The award was presented by the Minister of Science & Technology, the honourable Mosibudi Mangena, at a Gala Dinner & Fashion show on Thursday 16th November 2006.
This award cements incuBeta’s position in both the local & international markets as a technology leader, and the whole management team was on hand to celebrate the award with me.
I was proud to accept the award on behalf of incuBeta, and all the fantastic people that make our organisation what it is today – this is the 4th accolade we have received this year in South Africa, United Kingdom & the United States. I have uploaded pictures to my FlickR account, and here are a few from the event. Unfortunately, attending this event meant that I had to miss my speaking engagement at the Pubcon conference in Vegas, but thankfully Search Engine Roundtable covered the event in great detail.
If you’re in Africa, you can catch me on DSTV Channel 55 on Monday night for the after award interview on Face 2 Face (it’s basically at 15 minutes past the hour from 7pm through 10pm – hourly segment, not sure exactly which slot it’s in).
Here are some pics of the event from my Flickr account:

Congratulations Vinny, you and your team deserve the honor. It must be very exciting for you considering all the (good) stuff that happened just in a period of only a few years.
My sister has been in South Africa for a few weeks to do some volunteer work organized by a German labor union just a few years ago and loved the attitude and spirit of the people over there.
Coming from a country that was also turned upside down (East Germany) I know how it affects people and how their attitude changes when everything around you changes and things believed to be impossible and unthinkable become suddenly reality. It opens the mind and spirit and seems to make the word “impossible” sound like an artifact of an bygone era.
I hope you will be able to continue with what you are doing and that people, not just in South Africa, will look at you as a role model for taking things into their own hands to improve not only their own lifes but the life of everybody in their community as well.
Keep it up.
Cheers,
Carsten
