APEA 2023 is aiming to use its influential platform to accelerate economic resurgence in Vietnam by encouraging businesses to take advantage of Asia’s post-pandemic recovery and view it as an opportune time for expansion. Organised annually by regional NGO Enterprise Asia and covering 16 markets, the event presents Asia's largest award networking platform.

The award recipients have been selected from over 300 nominees through a rigorous evaluation process by a jury of prominent judges across four categories; Master Entrepreneur, Inspirational Brand, Fast Enterprise, and Corporate Excellence.

Since 2007, the Awards have taken place across the region, with past recipients including TTC Vietnam's Dang Van Thanh and Cuckoo Malaysia's Hoe Kian Choon, among others.

We find ourselves at a critical juncture, where seizing opportunities in the post-pandemic era is not just a choice but a necessity. It is a call to action that beckons us to embrace cross-border collaboration and innovation as essential tools for progress.”
