Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced that mBank and Philip Morris International (PMI) are the 2025 winners of its Technology Strategy Impact and Enterprise Architecture Awards, respectively, for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). The awards, which will be presented at Forrester’s Technology & Innovation Summit EMEA, recognise these organisations for maximising the value of their technology investments to drive tangible business results.
mBank, Poland’s first digital bank, is this year’s recipient of Forrester’s Technology Strategy Impact Award for EMEA. The bank is being honoured for successfully executing a comprehensive five-year modernisation strategy that has transformed its core banking infrastructure while maintaining operational excellence. Additionally, mBank continues to lead in cybersecurity innovation, proving that technology-led transformation can deliver measurable business outcomes without compromising stability or customer trust.
Philip Morris International, a leading global consumer goods company, has been awarded Forrester’s Enterprise Architecture Award, presented in partnership with The Open Group.

Fully embedded in PMI’s 2025 IT Strategy, EA now plays a pivotal role in shaping and executing initiatives that directly stem from business priorities. It drives measurable outcomes by accelerating delivery, enabling agility, and reducing risk—while supporting PMI’s bold vision of a smoke-free future.

We’re excited to recognise these winners at Technology & Innovation Summit EMEA.”
