MVNOs World Awards 2025
MVNOs World Awards recognise achievement, innovation and excellence in the industry.
Save the Date: This year’s awards ceremony will take place on 13th May at the iconic Wiener Börsensäle.
Important note: The MVNOs awards venue dates back to the 1870s and while modernisation has clearly taken place over the years, due to the age of the building, it does not have step-free access.
If you feel you will require assistance to reach the event space, we ask that you please let us know in advance so that we can make the necessary arrangements
