Methodology

Our nomination process is designed to identify the most impressive early-stage high-impact solutions in APAC. We collect insights from our analysts, a global expert panel with specialist knowledge of companies and ecosystems in one or more countries across the region, and public nominations, ensuring a balanced and comprehensive evaluation.  

1. Nominations

We partner with a regional network of key corporates, investors, and advisors who focus on early-stage innovation to gather diverse perspectives and insights.

2. Expert-Led Evaluation

Our analysts add their own input and then assess companies using qualitative and impact filters, weighing all nominations by relevance.

3. A Strong Regional Selection

Nominations are supported by real market activity, performance metrics, and innovation milestones across the regional cleantech ecosystem. It’s not just about ideas; it’s about real-world solutions making a tangible difference in APAC.
