Held in Almaty in mid-October 2023 as part of the PLAS Forum "Fintech without Borders. Digital Eurasia" the awarding of the winners of the first "PLUS Award" gets its continuation.

The further development of this initiative is the anchor award "PLUS Galaxy Award" (you have the opportunity to get acquainted with the description of the Award and apply on behalf of your structure for a specific nomination), timed to coincide with the Forum "Fintech, Banks and Retail", which will be held on June 12-13, 2024 in Tashkent, designed to draw attention to the most innovative and projects that are technologically, effectively and socially effective, providing them with broad information support. Its goal, as well as the Almaty version of the Award, is to continue our activities to identify and present to the market the best cases that are examples of high achievements in the field of fintech, banking, retail, e–commerce and marketplaces, creation and implementation of effective services, products and solutions.

Despite the similarity of these two Awards, the new initiative has two fundamental features. Firstly, the "PLUS Galaxy Award" 2024 significantly expands the list of nominations, which now cover retail along with fintech and banking.

In addition, the geographical focus also differs – the "PLUS Award" based on the PLACE Forum "Fintech without Borders. Digital Eurasia" initially has a pronounced regional character, since representatives of most countries of the region take part in it, as can be seen from the list of awardees. In turn, when deciding to expand the list of "PLUS Galaxy Award" nominations, the Organizing Committee proceeded from the scale and prospects of the Uzbek market, as a result of which it was decided to focus the new Award on the achievements of the country's industry. We are confident that its holding will find a worthy response, and the PLUS Galaxy Award in Tashkent will become an annual initiative along with all other PLUS Group projects.

The award procedure, awarded based on the results of the competition, is part of the business program (conference part) The International SPACE Forum "Fintech. Cans. Retail". Only Forum Participants can participate in the nominations: financial organizations, telecommunications and trading companies, developers, suppliers, service companies and others who have achieved significant success in the financial services market.

The award ceremony will be held on the evening of June 12, 2024 in Tashkent, the International hotel Tashkent Hotel, after the completion of the business program of the Fintech, Banks and Retail Forum.
