Ingram Micro is proud to continue its long association with the ARN Awards. These Awards represent an opportunity to pause, reflect and recognise our industry and the critical part the channel plays within it.

We are particularly pleased to sponsor the Start-up category; the companies recognised in this category not only represent a future tech ecosystem, but they will likely be at the core of Australia’s continued success as a nation, which has a vibrant tech sector.

As Australia’s leading distributor of technology solutions, we believe that the success of our local industry is reliant on supporting and encouraging these start-ups so they can flourish and thrive both locally and on the global stage. Our ability to leverage our global presence means we can offer a unique level of support for our channel partners to assist them to achieve an international presence. Our continued significant global investment in cloud and IoT as well as our traditional distribution model means we can help these start-ups in multiple ways as they embark on their journey.

Our passion for the start-up community can be further witnessed through our highly successful global Comet competition for start-ups/scale-ups. This program was created to assist B2B ISVs find commercial success for their technology.

Finally, we salute the indispensable role the channel plays in putting the latest technology solutions into the hands of end-user customers who in turn develop new and creative ways to solve the complex problems of their own.
