RippleNami, Inc. Wins Gold in Best in Biz Awards 2017 International

Most Socially Responsible Company of the Year

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Africa–RippleNami, Inc., a provider of a blockchain map-based data
visualization platform accessed via the cloud, has been named the gold
winner in the Most Socially Responsible Company of the Year category in
Best in Biz Awards 2017 International, the only independent global
business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and
reporters from top-tier publications from around the world.

RippleNami is quickly affecting change in developing nations by
connecting unconnected populations with an innovative blockchain and
mapping solution that allows anyone to map their world. RippleNami
created a visible and secure way for people to resolve a myriad of
problems involving data veracity, document control, big data management,
property protection, and identity management through an incorruptible
network. RippleNami knew that if they could take the technology solution
into developing countries, the world would forever be changed.

“As a rapidly growing, fast-paced startup technology company with a
strong focus on corporate social responsibility, RippleNami is quickly
impacting the lives of many by making a difference in the way people
connect using our novel blockchain and mapping solution. We genuinely
appreciate that the judges in the Best in Biz award program recognized
the power of the change RippleNami’s innovative solution is affecting
and noticed the Company’s successes to date,” explained Jaye
Connolly-Labelle, president and chief executive officer at RippleNami.

Almost 300 public and private companies hailing from all sectors of the
global economy from more than 30 countries competed in Best in Biz
Awards’ fifth annual International program. Best in Biz Awards 2017
International honors were once again presented in a range of categories,
including Fastest-Growing Company of the Year, Most Socially Responsible
Company of the Year, Most Innovative Company of the Year, Support
Department of the Year, Executive of the Year, Most Innovative Product,
Enterprise Product and Consumer Product of the Year.

Winners in the 5th annual program were determined based on scoring from
an independent panel of judges hailing from a wide spectrum of top-tier
publications and media outlets and from 15 countries and all continents.
Best in Biz Awards’ uniqueness stems, in part, from the composition of
its judging panels. Each year, only editors, writers and contributors to
business, consumer, financial, trade and technology publications, as
well as broadcast outlets and analyst firms, are invited to serve as
judges. Structured this way, Best in Biz Awards can best leverage the
expertise, experience and objectivity of its influential judges to
determine award winners.

“More than twenty years after the internet became a must-have tool and
medium for businesses, it’s fascinating to see how leading firms, as
encapsulated by this strong crop of Best in Biz Awards contenders,
demonstrate how far we’ve come,” said Mathew Schwartz, judging his
fourth Best in Biz Awards competition. “I was especially struck by how
strong the cloud computing segment continues to be — not just apps but
also infrastructure — and how even with the best technology in the
world, user interface design and the user experience remains so crucial.”

This year’s judging panel included writers and contributors to such
publications as ARD (Germany), Business Breakfast (United Arab
Emirates), Computer Hoy (Spain), Data Breach Today (United Kingdom), HT
Mobile (Israel), IAA Magazine (United Arab Emirates), InBusiness (Cyprus
and Greece), Irish Independent (Ireland), Radio Ngati Porou (New
Zealand), TechHim (India), TechnoFILE.com (Canada), Tune Media
(Singapore), Ventures Africa (Nigeria), and Wirausaha & Keuangan
(Indonesia).
