The newly launched SwissCham Digital Transformation Award wants to recognize achievements in entrepreneurship and digital transformation in Singapore and ASEAN.

With the introduction of the Digital Transformation Award, the Swiss Chamber of Commerce (SwissCham) wants to offer a platform to all organizations in Singapore to showcase their digitalization efforts in the ASEAN region.

The Award will recognize achievements in entrepreneurship and digital transformation that are closely linked to Swiss values and success factors (e.g. innovation, risk-taking culture).

The aim of the award is to present best-in-class projects in digital transformation, such as creating new ways of operating and growing businesses through the cloud, mobile, big data/AI, blockchain or the usage of any other technologies.

Sponsored by Economic Development Board, Industry Leaders and Chambers

This award is for all companies in Singapore. Deloitte is the official collaboration partner and the award is sponsored by Economic Development Board, DKSH, Zuhlke, and Crealogix. In addition, the award is supported by SGInnovate and Enterprise Singapore as well as by a group of chambers, including the European Chamber of Commerce in Singapore, the Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (SGC), and the French Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. finews.asia is the media partner. 

The applicants will profit from increased publicity and credibility as well as strengthen their digitalization brand in ASEAN towards customers and governmental bodies. Winners would have a next-generation verifiable digital certificate issued by SwissCham and selective sponsors/supporters with attractive prizes.

In addition, the award process will facilitate best practice exchange and give access to unique expertise and a network of experts in the field of digitalization. SwissCham Singapore has recently partnered with PRecious communications and launched their DX Leaders Series, a webinar series on Digital Transformation which hosts thought DX leaders across a number of industries.
