Enterprise Asia is pleased to confer the International Innovation Awards 2022 to 39 remarkable innovations. As one of the pillar of the Innovation Revolution movement spearheaded by Enterprise Asia since 2017, the award recognition program aims to create an innovation ecosystem for enterprises which is held annually to recognize outstanding innovations across the globe. This year marks the 6th edition of the awards which took place in Bangkok, Thailand in which the Awards was officiated by the Vice-Minister for Commerce of Thailand, Dr. Sansern Samalapa.
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.
The awards drew an exceptional mix of submissions across 19 countries such as Brazil, Cambodia, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, United Arab Emirates, and United States. 39 innovations were selected and crowned winners from over 200 applications through undergoing a rigorous evaluation process by a jury of prominent judges across three categories: Product, Service & Solution, and Organization & Culture.
“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.
Among the notable recipients of the ‘InnoCube’ under the Product Category include Far Eastern New Century with Recycled Waste-gas Based Polyester Fiber, which is the world’s first recycled waste-gas based polyester fabric, and First International Computer, Inc. of Taiwan with FIC ADD (Advertisement Display For Automotive) which provides a new styled solution for car signage, and Dubai Police with Identification System :26 Rapidly Mutating Y-STR Single Multiplex Assay, which is a multiplex system DNA kit that contains special reagents for forensic genetic laboratories to differentiate related male individuals.
For the Service & Solution Category, the Export-Import Bank of Thailand was awarded for Solar Orchestra: An EXIM Thailand’s Climate Finance For Sustainable Export, which supports solar rooftop investments and carbon credit for small-scale projects to a single registration, and Medidata Solutions International Asia Pacific Pte Ltd of Singapore with its Sensor Cloud, which is a transformational approach to managing medical-grade sensors and devices, and their clinical trial data.
Deloitte & Touche LLP of the United States claimed the accolade under the Organization & Culture Category with Deloitte Audit & Assurance: Innovating for Purpose campaign, which implements programs and initiatives to help further foster a culture of innovation in the workplace. The Road Transport Authority of the United Arab Emirates also emerged as a winner under the Organization & Culture Category with its RTA Innovation Culture Framework, which aims to make innovation an everyday practice by experimenting with new approaches to enrich its innovation culture.
Prior to the awards ceremony, the International Innovation Summit 2022 was held during the day. Themed “Building Breakthroughs with People-first Innovation,” the summit is a transformative program featuring industry leaders from around the region and provides a platform to inspire important conversations and shaping the agenda in building human-centric organizational strategies.
Over 300 innovation experts, industry leaders, and policy makers across the globe gathered at the summit to share and exchange the latest insights on adopting people-first cultures to reshape the world of work and drive lifetime employability and sustainable economic growth.
At the Summit’s opening, Enterprise Asia Chairman Dr. Fong Chan Onn expressed that “A crucial element is often overshadowed as companies raced to make the next revolutionary breakthrough — People. Putting people first enables companies to develop adaptive capabilities and adopt agile and innovative ways of working in order to evolve and future-proof their organizations. By supporting people to realize their full potential, we are able to reshape organizational culture and structure, and optimize for multi-disciplinary teamwork.”
