Doosan Group announced on December 8 that it was selected as the best company in the 'Digital Engineering Project/Program of the Year' category at the 'Digital Engineering Awards' ceremony held in Frisco, Texas, USA on December 6 (local time).

The Digital Engineering Awards is a ceremony that honors research and development and technological achievements of organizations or individuals who have developed new technologies that benefit companies, stakeholders, and communities, and led sustainable changes in the industry.

This award is jointly organized by L&T Technology Services (LTTS), a specialized engineering services company, Information Services Group (ISG), a technology research and advisory firm, and CNBC-TV18, an Indian economic channel. Awards were presented in a total of 9 categories.

Among them, the Digital Engineering Project/Program of the Year category is awarded to organizations that have achieved original innovations in ▲process efficiency ▲productivity improvement ▲operational convenience enhancement in the manufacturing sector.
