For the first time in the business awards industry, the award nominees and winners were determined not by a single institution with its own associations and allegiances, but through a global nomination portal and by a group of independent personalities across the knowledge realms of industry, finance, advisory, media and government, who have global presence, experience and interest in Asia Rising.
The ABLF Awards Grand Jury consisted of a high-profile group of eminent industry experts, economic commentators and international leaders from government, business, academics, advisory and other professional disciplines. Bringing a wealth of multi-disciplinary expertise and industry knowledge, the panel honoured 14 outstanding individuals from across Asia whose successes are inextricably linked to the prosperity of the entire region.
