Vietnam's business scene is a vibrant tapestry, woven with threads of innovation, resilience, and inclusivity. On October 3, 2024, the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2024 celebrated this spirit at the GEM Center in Ho Chi Minh City. The event honored 62 organizations and industry leaders, showcasing the best of Vietnam's entrepreneurial talent.
The theme for this year, "Celebrating Inclusive Entrepreneurship," resonated deeply. It emphasized the importance of creating equal opportunities for all. In a world where the gap between the privileged and the underprivileged often widens, this theme is a clarion call for change. It acknowledges the inspiring leaders who are not just building businesses but also fostering an ecosystem where everyone can thrive.
The APEA, organized by Enterprise Asia, is not just an awards ceremony; it’s a movement. Since its inception in 2007, it has recognized excellence across 16 countries. This year, over 300 nominees were evaluated by a panel of distinguished judges. The competition was fierce, but the winners stood out for their admirable business practices and enduring innovation.
Among the honorees, Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) and Wipro Consumer Care Vietnam emerged as shining stars. Their commitment to excellence sets a benchmark for others.
