The organizing board gave 24 Winner cups and 74 certificates of merit to products of five categories: consumer, inclusions and community services, industry, business services, public sector and government and cross categories of research and development, start-ups, big data analytics, Internet-of-Things, and artificial intelligence.

Dinh Thi Thuy, a representative of the winner, said: “I’m proud that our product wins the prize. It confirms that Vietnamese businesses can compete internationally to provide practical products to the world. It’s a good chance to learn from others in the Go Global trend.”

APICTA was first held in 2001 to honor excellent IT products and services in the Asia-Pacific. This is the first time Vietnam hosting the event in Quang Ninh province, which drew nearly 1,000 delegates from 16 APICTA member countries and economies.
