APEA is a world-class awards program recognizing and honouring business leaders who have shown outstanding performance and tenacity in developing successful businesses within the region. Supported by local governments and businesses, it aims to provide a platform for companies and governments to recognize and be recognized for entrepreneurial excellence, spurring greater innovation, fair practices and growth in entrepreneurship. The award has expanded to countries such as Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, China, the Philippines etc. Often compared to the Olympics for its stringent entry criteria and highly competitive judging parameters and rigorous judging process, the nomination for APEA is by-invitation only.
