Focus BC Wins Google Cloud Partner Award 2022

Focus BC was awarded Google Cloud Solution Partner of the Year 2022 for its work on City as a Platform and Mapify IoT solutions.

As official Google Partners, Focus BC was invited to participate in the Google Cloud Christmas Partner Meetup 🎄 in Teatro Dom Luiz Filipe (Teatro da Luz). It was an amazing opportunity to talk with more Googlers and meet new potential partners.
