The top 10 Sao Khue awards were given to seven products and the three best IT services in different sectors such as banking and transportation. For the first time, a start-up won an award in the top 10. The total revenue of the top 10 Sao Khue awarded companies reached 540 million USD, accounting for more than 30% of the total revenue of the IT sector in 2016. The Sao Khue awarded projects will later be up for the APICTA - a prestigious award in the IT sector in the Asia Pacific region in Bangladesh this December.
