The EnTech awards are held annually and were founded to "honor exceptional technology accomplishments in the digital supply chain". Awards were distributed across 9 categories including Emerging Technologies and Technology Leadership. Judging was conducted based on several factors, including key industry contributions, technological achievement, and operations functions.

Due to scheduling issues, Han was unable to personally accept the award, which was accepted on Han's behalf by Iyuno's Olivier Christmann, Vice President, Account Management. Han was one of five Rising Star honorees at this year's ceremony, hosted by Amazon at the Culver Theater in Culver City, California.

"It is a great pleasure to be able to say this is only a start of what we can achieve as a team."
