They have made their way into the prestigious list for their outstanding contributions to mainly three sectors - Enterprise Technology, Social Impact and Industry and Manufacturing and Energy.
Over 4,000 nominees–a record number for the Asia list–from 22 countries and territories applied for the honourary recognition.

While innovation, forward-thinking vision, determination and positive mindset make the list comprehensive, startup leads all the way with 90 out of the final 300 coming from South-East Asia, the startup hub of the Asia Pacific region.
