Ziggu won the "Cloud Tech Innovator of the Year" at the 2019 Luxembourg Cloud Awards, standing out among PropTech startups for its market maturity and ability to attract major clients like BesixRed. The jury praised Ziggu's solid platform and global scalability potential in the real estate technology sector.
The Luxembourg Cloud Awards 2019 ceremony took place during the ITnation Golden-i Gala on Thursday, May 16, 2019. Over 500 ICT professionals gathered to celebrate cloud innovation across the region.
Cloud Community Europe Luxembourg introduced two groundbreaking categories that year. The "Cloud Innovation Project of the Year" and "Tech Cloud Innovator of the Year" categories recognized emerging technologies and startup excellence.
The awards ceremony was held at PWC offices in Luxembourg, marking a significant milestone for the region's tech ecosystem. This recognition came at a time when the construction industry was beginning to embrace digital transformation, moving away from traditional paper-based processes toward cloud-native solutions.
The timing proved strategic for PropTech companies like Ziggu targeting European real estate markets. Luxembourg's position as a financial and technology hub made this recognition valuable for companies seeking enterprise client validation.
Three projects competed for the "Cloud Innovation Project of the Year" award. EBRC presented their DHL myID project, demonstrating advanced identity management solutions. POST Luxembourg showcased their digital transformation project for SIGI (Syndicat Intercommunal de Gestion Informatique).
ITbyCloud won this category with their YoY® platform. The solution focuses on honest food tracking, educated consumers, and strong brand development across the entire production chain.
"The YoY® honest food, educated consumers and strong brands project stands out for its adaptability to markets other than food and its sustainability. The platform makes it possible to improve the user experience and to follow the entire production chain, from the origin of the product to its sale, which in our current society is at the heart of consumers' concerns," commented Jean-Paul Hengen, President of the jury.

The "Cloud Tech Innovator of the Year" category featured three promising startups. Next Gate Tech represented the fintech sector with their fund industry solutions. OnePrivacy offered Keexle, an end-to-end encrypted communication and collaboration platform.
Ziggu emerged as the winner in the real estate technology space.
The jury recognized Ziggu's unique position in the PropTech market. Jean-Paul Hengen explained their decision: "Ziggu already has a certain maturity on the market and has managed in a short time to attract big customers like BesixRed, who chose them, especially for the robustness of the application. This platform can also be used regardless of the geographical area targeted."
The jury highlighted several key factors that distinguished Ziggu from other nominees. Market maturity played a crucial role — while many startups struggle to gain enterprise traction, Ziggu demonstrated proven success with major clients.
BesixRed's selection of Ziggu specifically for application robustness validated the platform's enterprise-grade capabilities. This client relationship showcased Ziggu's ability to serve large-scale real estate developments, demonstrating how efficient large-scale project management could transform the industry.
Global scalability potential impressed the judges. Unlike region-specific solutions, Ziggu's platform architecture supports international expansion across different markets and regulatory environments. Winning this Luxembourg Cloud Award positioned Ziggu among Europe's most promising PropTech innovators, with the recognition coming from industry experts who evaluated technical excellence, market impact, and growth potential.
Since receiving this recognition, Ziggu has grown significantly in the Belgian and European markets. The company now serves over 2000+ companies across the construction and real estate sectors, demonstrating the sustained growth that began with this early industry validation.
Current metrics demonstrate sustained growth and client satisfaction. Ziggu maintains a 68 Net Promoter Score, reflecting strong customer loyalty in the PropTech space where customer experience matters significantly for residential developers.
The platform has expanded beyond basic project management to include comprehensive features like Documents, Conversations, Decisions & Approvals, Tasks, Milestones, FAQ Builder, News Updates, Aftercare, and Financials capabilities.
The 2019 Luxembourg Cloud Awards recognition established Ziggu's credibility in competitive PropTech markets. Early validation from industry experts helped accelerate client acquisition and partnership opportunities. Many current enterprise clients reference this award when explaining their vendor selection process, as third-party recognition reduces perceived risk for companies adopting new technology solutions.
The award also demonstrated Ziggu's commitment to cloud-native architecture — a critical factor as the construction industry embraces digital transformation. This foundation has enabled Ziggu to evolve into what many consider the new standard for customer portals in property development.
Ziggu's Luxembourg Cloud Awards victory highlighted the platform's potential to transform real estate project management. The recognition validated both technical excellence and market fit in the growing PropTech sector.
Today's expanded feature set and growing client base reflect the innovation that impressed judges in 2019. Companies like BesixRed continue to demonstrate the enterprise value that initially caught industry attention.
