This post if part of my initiative to give more coverage to Asia-Pacific & Malaysia’s IT industry in general. Personally, I’m quite new with APICTA (Asia-Pacific ICT Award) although the about page show that it has existed since 2001.

Initiated by Multimedia Development Corporation of Malaysia (MDEC) on 2001 (if I’m not mistaken), APICTA which is now on its 8th edition, have just had its annual award held in Indonesia last November.

Malaysia, represented by 20 companies has contested in 16 categories and bag 3 wins, not too bad. They are:

Security
Nexbis National Security Solution
Nexbis Sdn Bhd

Industrial Applications
G.PRO RFID SDT
GPRO Technologies Bhd

Tertiary Student Project
Solar Powered Offline Car Ventilation System
Multimedia University

Before this regional APICTA award, there are Malaysia APICTA award which was held earlier to choose companies and applications that will compete on international level

The next APICTA 2009 will be hosted by Australia. Congrats to the winners and wishing for more innovations.
