The EuroCloud Luxembourg Award for the Best Start-up goes to EZC Group with YobiDrive, an innovative and e-safe interpretation of the file sharing services (DropBox, FTopia …) and of the underlying cloud storage (Amazon S3), which perfectly matches the Luxembourg «safe cloud» ambitions.
The EuroCloud Luxembourg Award in the Best Cloud Service Product category goes to LEARCH with their e-Archiving as a Service project. The solution is based on the integration and interconnection of services that share the same value chain in Europe, thus creating a transversal platform. Besides, its operating way answers to the different legal and regulatory customers’ environments
The EuroCloud Luxembourg Award in the Best Case Study Example of Cloud Services for the Private Sector has been delivered to Telindus with their success story – CDCL (Compagnie De Construction Luxembourgeoise). Thanks to a solution with no investment, “U-flex &U-nify”, based on a “pay as you grow” model, Telindus was the perfect choice, bringing flexibility, accessibility, security and modernity.
The EuroCloud Luxembourg Award for the Best Case Study Example of Cloud Services for the Public Sector goes to Kitry with the CRTI-web platform, allowing the construction sector to evolve towards information and communication technologies.

Amal Choury, President of EuroCloud Luxembourg, comments “This year again, we were impressed by the number and the quality of submissions we received. This definitively confirms the dynamism and the aspiration for excellence of the cloud computing technologies and SaaS sector in Luxembourg. I see it also as a motivation to implement the recommendation contained in the action plan which EuroCloud Luxembourg, in partnership with the Centre Tudor, presented in March 2012 to the Government officials”.
Marc Lemmer adds, “I would like to thank all the companies that have submitted an application and can ensure that we are looking forward to see the performance of our national winners at the European level”.
