Tonight (Thursday 9th July) see’s the first ever TechCrunch Europe award ceremony to celebrate and recognise  European technology start-ups along with Internet and mobile innovations for the past year.

TechHead is fortunate to have a ticket and is looking forward to attending’ The Europa’s to experience this TechCrunch awards first.  Although a slight deviation from TechHead’s usual focus on enterprise server technologies and virtualization the area of internet based innovation is an area that has always been of great interest due to it’s rich diversity of unique and innovative ideas.

Over the past few years Europe has seen it’s fair share of internet based companies, established and start-up, offering popular quality services such as  streaming on-demand music (Spotify), live and on-demand online/mobile video (Kyte) and a Twitter popular links aggregator (Tweetmeme) to name just a few.
