The following testimonial was written by Paschalis Tsiaflakis, the winner of the Fitce Young ICT Personality 2010 contest.My participation in this year's FITCE.be Young ICT Personality competition has been a very rewarding experience and constitutes an important milestone in my young ICT career. Together with the other contestants, we were given the opportunity to share our views and ideas on the topic of 'Future Internet' with a top of the crop jury of ICT experts and a broad audience of ICT leaders and professionals. As an academic, I was forced to change my conventional way of presenting by putting the emphasis more on the marketing issues and the business potential, rather than on the theoretical parts. This has been both challenging and inspiring. Also, the questions from the jury as well as the audience were very interesting with particularly different and innovative viewpoints. Not only have I learned a lot from these discussions, it has given me some great new directions that our research group can follow. During the reception afterwards I had the opportunity to further meet and discuss with many of the FITCE.be members, the contestants, and ICT professionals. I am very impressed by this great initiative of FITCE.be, and I am strongly convinced about the very positive impact of such activities on the promotion of ICT. I would like to thank FITCE.be for granting me this prize and for the wonderful forum that they have established. I am confident that it will open many doors for other young ICT industrials/researchers too.
