Werkit wins the Covid-19 Innovation Award at the World Smart City Awards 2020

Since launching Werkit in 2020, we’ve helped dozens of companies create and manage distributed data teams, tackling tasks such as data processing, computer vision services, transcriptions, and much more. At the same time, we’ve helped our global community of tech talent realize greater financial security through the opportunities they find on our platform.

Our goal has always been to empower global talent and data-driven companies alike by connecting them through a remote digital workforce. By focusing on skilled workers in Africa, we help companies fulfill their routine data tasks while also accessing a truly untapped talent pool. With COVID-19 forcing so many companies to transition into remotely-distributed teams, solutions like Werkit are becoming increasingly necessary for fundamental data tasks.

A winner was selected in each of seven categories that year; ours was the Covid-19 Innovation Award, for “Innovative adaptations to the Future of Work within the Global Digital Marketplace in Zambia”. This year especially has shown us that we need to be prepared for crises similar to COVID-19 in the future, and we are grateful that Smart City has chosen our platform as a leading solution for the cause.
