Young Asian Entrepreneur Award 2019-20

Celebrating Visionaries Who Shape Asia’s Growth

URS-AsiaOne has long been a platform that recognizes the architects of progress—individuals who lay the foundation for economic, social, and political advancement. These leaders are primus inter pares (first among equals), setting benchmarks that inspire others to follow. Among its most distinguished initiatives is the AsiaOne Global Asian of the Year (GAOY) awards, a trademarked recognition under AsiaOne’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

The GAOY distinction is reserved for an elite group of leaders who have demonstrated unparalleled excellence, leaving an indelible mark on their industries and societies. For the 2019–20 edition, the awards expanded across 10 categories, including Business Leadership, Technology, Healthcare, and Start-ups, with nominees undergoing a rigorous selection process.

The final honorees were chosen based on:

1. Public voting (weighted in the final decision),
2. Expert evaluations from top industry leaders, and
3. The decisive judgment of AsiaOne’s Chief Editor.
