# We Won Our 2nd Award at DES 2022

Last week our COO Giulia and Head of Marketing Nick participated in the three-day event: **Digital Enterprise Show (DES)**, held for the first time in Malaga.

The last time ZIM took part and presented at an international event was at **Mobile World Congress (MWC)** in February; a lot has changed since then.

At MWC, we introduced ZIM to a varied international audience by giving away eSIM plans for Spain as our App was still in pre-production.

This time at DES, we finally showcased our App to the world in its polished form as we are now live on both [PlayStore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zim_cli) and [Appstore](https://apps.apple.com/es/app/zim/id1611244114). This allowed us to present our product to potential customers in its entirety and show them how user-friendly our App is; the feedback has been very positive.

While scouting for customers, we were delighted to meet other ventures and start-ups who shared similar prospects and kick-starting talks for future collaborations.

On the first day, our COO Giulia participated in the Scale-up Pitch Competition for Tourism and Hospitality. The competition was held in a boxing ring; needless to say, she rocked the show.

Facing off against the other nine start-ups, she made us proud, not only because she gave a rockstar performance but also because she won it!

We got the news this Monday. We were ecstatic to learn ZIM had won the **Amadeus Scale-Up Award for Travel Sustainability**, bringing our award collection to two.

Malaga was full of surprises and opportunities for ZIM; it was a wholesome experience, and we can’t wait for round two next year.
