MONTRÉAL, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Hapbee Technologies, Inc.

A panel of eminent Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from more than 2,997 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, health, social justice, and more. In addition, several new categories have been added this year including climate, nature, water, and workplace. The 2022 awards feature entries from across the globe, from Switzerland to Hong Kong to Australia.

Fast Company relishes its role in amplifying important, innovative work to address big challenges," says David Lidsky, interim editor-in-chief of Fast Company. "Our journalists have identified some of the most ingenious initiatives to launch since the start of 2021, which we hope will both have a meaningful impact and lead others to join in being part of the solution."

The Company is also pleased to announce that Hapbee has appointed Brent Dobsch as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Ken Adessky as Corporate Secretary and Yona Shtern as President in addition to being Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, effective March 31, 2022.
