South Asia startup in the ICT Award 2022

The ICT Award 2022 has announced online nominations for the South Asia startup category allowing the regional ventures to participate in Nepal’s prestigious ICT award fair. The decision allows IT and digital companies from the neighboring countries to apply for their recognition.

The online nomination for ‘South Asia Startup ICT Award 2022’ opened on Wednesday, 28th July. Meanwhile, ICT Award 2022 nominations have already opened for online nomination in 11 categories.

It is the first time the organizers of the award have opened it up for South Asian startups. The ICT Awards started in 2016 AD with the purpose to honor and recognize contributions in the information communication and technology field. It is the award’s seventh edition in the making.

The ‘Award’ is being organized by Living with ICT in collaboration with various national and international organizations.

Eligibility for South Asia Startup ventures in the ICT Award 2022

To begin with, the organizers have set accommodating criteria for South Asia startup ventures for their nomination. For this award category, any South Asian startup that has been established for over 4 years can register their nominations.

With this, startups from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Maldives can apply for their nomination for this year’s ICT Award.

In addition, the organizers will have a separate selection committee with experts from different countries to determine the winner.

Since its inception in 2016, the award has seen several refinements and expansions to be more competitive and inclusive.

Razan Lamsal, Chairman of the organizing committee, talked about the decision to add the new award category. He shared that the regional startup award will develop the overall startup ecosystem in the international arena from this year.

Mr. Lamsal added that the new category “will create an environment for more cooperation among the South Asian countries in the days to come”.

Including the South Asia Startup category in the award does correspond with the rigorously advancing field of ICT in the region.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
