This year's winning innovations embody the true essence of innovation in accelerating growth and efficiency and promoting inclusiveness, which aligns with the objective of the award recognition program—to provide businesses a global platform to showcase their innovations that unlock doors to a better and sustainable future and encourage organizations to continue investing in innovation.

"We are facing a global crisis of dwindling resources. The expense of doing business rises with each passing day. This is where innovation comes in: the 'extraordinary forces' that businesses can unleash. Through innovation, we are not just protecting and extending our competitive edge but also future-proofing our businesses in a time of volatility, uncertainty and increasing complexity." Richard Tsang, President of Enterprise Asia, stated in his welcome address.
