APEA
Type Entrepreneurship Awards
Staff William Ng (President); TC Ooi (Executive Director)
Website www.enterpriseasia.org

Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards are a series of recognition awards given by a Kuala Lumpur-based regional NGO, Enterprise Asia.

Started as an initiative to identify and recognise outstanding entrepreneurship, the Awards have now evolved into a credible, highly desired award in Asia Pacific. Winners are torch bearers for entrepreneurship in their respective countries, and are invited to be part of the annual Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Forum - the first of which is slotted to be held in Hangzhou, China in 2009.

First held in Malaysia, APEA recognises business leaders for outstanding entrepreneurship as judged by an independent judging panel. These Awards are accorded to the exemplary few who have shown outstanding performance in the communication of their visions, brands and strategies. The objective is to enhance the awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship amongst the general public and in turn, stimulate the growth of local and regional brands and enterprises both locally and regionally.
