Judging Process

​

The panel of curated judges are fully independent and subject matter experts who will ensure an accurate, fair and transparent judging process.

​

Drawn from across the Asia-Pacific region, the expert and esteemed judges are invited from academia, government, industry and startups to best provide a comprehensive assessment of the applications.

 

The first phase of the judging process evaluates all applicants from which three finalists of each category are selected.

​

The second phase of the judging process identifies the winner of each category from the three selected category finalists, and the overall winner of the Grand Award - 'APAC WAI Innovator of the Year' followed by the two runners-up.
