This year, Sirus has been nominated for not one, but two Digital Society Awards. The awards are presented annually by Agoria, in collaboration with event organiser TMAB. The awards recognise those digital government projects that deliver the greatest added value and clearly improve the lives of citizens and entrepreneurs. eGovernment, eHealth and Smart City projects are all in the running for one of the prizes, which will be presented at the gala evening on 3 December.
Different categories, different prizes
The Digital Society Awards are divided into several categories, including innovation, user-friendliness, return on investment, collaboration and sustainability. The projects that score best across all of these categories compete for the prestigious overall titles: ‘Best Smart City Project of 2026’, ‘Best eHealth Project of 2026’ and ‘Best eGovernment Project of 2026’.
Which projects has Sirus been nominated for?
Sirus has been nominated in two categories, with two different projects.
Aquafin – Water Data Space
In the sustainability category, Sirus has been nominated together with Aquafin for Aquafin’s project on overflow data. By sharing the data captured by overflow sensors in a standardised and transparent way via the Flemish Water Data Space, the project gives the wider network of water stakeholders better insight into the problem and its potential solutions.
City of Bruges – Waterwijs Blue4Green
Sirus has also been nominated for the overall title of ‘Best Smart City Project of 2026’ for Waterwijs Blue4Green, its collaboration with the City of Bruges. The city launched Blue4Green to address challenges such as flooding, drought, blue-green algae and declining water quality. Sirus developed a platform that collects data from various sources, transforms it, and makes it available for analysis and clear visualisation in dashboards. With Blue4Green, the City of Bruges has a future-proof data platform that enables integrated, data-driven management of water and green spaces. The platform supports policy decisions and operational actions, and facilitates collaboration between city departments and external project partners. The solution also provides a scalable foundation for expanding the monitoring network and adding further climate applications. In doing so, it contributes directly to the city’s ambition of becoming climate-resilient.
We are very excited about these nominations. They’re a testament to our joint efforts to make cities and companies smarter, and to our dream of sharing data and collaborating across organisational boundaries, so that citizens and policymakers alike gain better insights and can work together towards a better future.
