VOTING CLOSED2024 Winners AnnouncedSingapore Business Awards (2024)
APAC Insider is excited to announce the launch of the Singapore Business Awards 2024! Now in its eighth year, this programme has become the go-to guide to the companies and entrepreneurs spearheading growth across Singapore’s dynamic business market.
Though it faces limitations in size, population, and resources, Singapore is a country that is consistently recognised as one of the richest and most stable in the world. In recent years, Singapore has been named as one of the most open economies globally by the Heritage Foundation, and currently ranks as the world’s second richest country based on GDP per capita. Companies and professionals doing business in Singapore benefit from its free-market economy as well as the competitive and pro-business policies implemented by the government. This – in addition to the country’s modern environment, excellent standard of living, and high average salary – makes Singapore an attractive business destination for both local and foreign enterprises.
Much of Singapore’s success in the global business market is thanks to the culture of innovation that spreads throughout every segment of its society – from the government, down to company, and individual levels. The country’s key policymakers have also made efforts to invest in emerging sectors so that they can continue to foster this innovation, leading to Singapore being home to the largest number of startups in all of Southeast Asia.
Singapore not only invests in business, but also maintains its position in the world market by investing in its people. The country boasts an excellent technical education system, and its universities are considered to be the best in the Southeast Asia region. Singapore’s commitment to developing its talent pool has made the nation world leaders in a number of key business sectors.
The finance industry in Singapore is one of the largest and most important across the globe, with over two hundred banks and financial institutions based there, and currently ranking as the third most prolific financial hub worldwide, behind only New York City and London. Singapore is also known for its advanced precision engineering and manufacturing industry. Most modern precision technology products are made with components or through patents originating from Singapore, which is one of the reasons much of the world’s top tech talent are enticed to move their careers and business operations to the region.
APAC Insider will be covering all of this and more in the Singapore Business Awards 2024. We will utilise our years of experience in researching industry markets to curate a list of winners who truly deserve to be named among the leading lights of the Singapore business market. All of our recipients are determined based on merit, and as we are proudly not pay-to play there are no costs involved at any stage of the awarding process. Those successful in the Singapore Business Awards will be provided with a free-of-charge marketing toolkit to celebrate the award, as well as having the opportunity to take advantage of the additional commercial options that we offer.

VOTING CLOSED2023 Winners AnnouncedBusiness Awards (2023)
APAC Insider is excited to announce that our prestigious Business Awards are returning for the eighth consecutive year in 2023! This large and diverse region is home to over half of the world’s population and is expected to become the largest consumer market within the next two decades. This has positioned Asia Pacific as a growing hub for international business – with a thriving technology sector, a world-class workforce, and a fast-paced and innovative corporate landscape.
Here at APAC Insider, we plan to recognise the leading companies and individuals who are at the cutting-edge of their chosen industries, who are responsible for driving growth and advancement across the APAC region.
Despite current global financial slowdown, Asia Pacific’s economy remains robust, with growth expected to continue throughout 2023. Following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in China, mobility and consumer activity has increased rapidly, having a positive ripple effect on neighbouring countries throughout the region.
In addition to consistent economic growth, for those looking to do business in Asia Pacific the region also offers favourable tax rates, investment incentives, and a heavily populated and talented workforce to take advantage of. It is no surprise then that many global business leaders are now looking to APAC as a lucrative destination for expansion. In fact, many APAC countries are recognised among the world’s best places to do business, with Singapore, South Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong consistently ranking as some of the highest.
The large economies of India and China are considered major drivers of growth not just within Asia Pacific, but also across international markets. Hong Kong continues to maintain its position as the world’s leading financial hub, and the ‘middle economies’ of countries such as Thailand and Indonesia are expanding at impressive rates. The rising influence of APAC business on the world stage can be partly attributed to the digital revolution currently taking place across the region. Over the last decade, increasing connectivity, better internet access, and sustained income growth of consumers have combined to make Asia Pacific world leaders for the modern digital age.
The team at APAC Insider will consider all of these factors when determining our winners for the Business Awards 2023, ensuring that only the most innovative and hard-working companies go on to be successful. Our unbiased research and selection process allows equal opportunity for businesses of all sizes and industry categories to be recognised in the programme, from SMEs and sole traders all the way to international corporations!
Appearing in the Business Awards 2023 offers many promotional benefits, as winners will have the chance to advertise their products and services to a targeted circulation of key professionals across the Asia Pacific region. Whether you are looking to increase your brand awareness, boost staff morale, gain notoriety in your specialist field, or expand your consumer base, APAC Insider provides a fantastic platform to market yourself and your business! With both commercial advertising packages and free-of-charge celebratory options available, the Business Awards 2023 truly offers something for everyone!
