Alan Dukes, Chairman & Co-Founder of Asia Matters, reflecting on the views of the judging panel in commenting that:

"The 2022 Shortlist includes world class organisations - they should be very proud of their achievements in what has been a very challenging time. What links them all is a solid strategic approach to expansion in Asia, investment in innovation to move up the value chain, a commitment to Asia, building strong win-win partnerships and developing world class products tailored to the market - quite simply they are doing a brilliant job. I look forward to meeting them all on 2 December."
