Published

on

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As technology advances at an unprecedented pace with AI at the forefront of it, a crucial question emerges: How can humans and AI coexist harmoniously while upholding principles of integrity and ethics?

Themed ‘Fostering Integrity in Business Innovation’, the 8th International Innovation Awards (IIA) aimed to answer this crucial question. Held at W Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 29 November 2024, the event honored 51 groundbreaking innovations, inspiring a future where innovation and ethics go hand-in-hand.

Since 2017, Enterprise Asia’s Innovation Revolution movement has been driving innovation across the region.

This year’s event brought together innovators from various countries across the globe.

The IIA 2024 began with a riveting welcome address from Enterprise Asia’s Vice Chairman, Datuk William Ng. “Innovation without integrity risks eroding trust, while integrity without innovation risks stagnation. But when paired together, they have the power to create meaningful, sustainable advancements that benefit not just businesses but society as a whole,” he said, highlighting the significance of integrating ethics and accountability when innovating to shape a better future for all.

The awards program garnered submissions from a global pool of participants, hailing from over 19 countries and regions such as mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam, just to name a few.

A pre-event to the awards ceremony, the International Innovation Summit (IIS) 2024 took place earlier in the day.
