Weighted towards those who build
The jury defines the value of the award. Appointed by invitation, it brings together people actively building and delivering products across Asia. Independence is built into the process: no juror may have an entry in the award cycle they are judging.
Whom we seek
Serving CTOs, CPOs, and heads of engineering at companies shipping in Asia, with eight or more years building products. Technology investors holding a portfolio across two or more Asian markets.
Independence
Jurors may have no entry in the cycle being judged, and declare any conflict of interest, standing down from the affected category without penalty.
How to accept
Confirm the categories you wish to judge, share a photograph, professional biography, and market for your official juror profile, and sign the jury code of conduct and conflict of interest declaration. Appointment is confirmed in writing before the scoring criteria are published.
Recognition
Named as a juror of 2027 Asia Tech Awards on the entry portal and every category page, with an official profile, trophy, certificate of appointment, and a permanent Yearbook listing.
Influence
A vote on the criteria and weightings before entries open, one Honorary nomination, and first access to the anonymized benchmark report.
Winners' Night
For jurors attending in person: return airfare, two nights at the official five star host hotel, a front row seat with one guest, and the private jury dinner.
Visibility
Juror announcements, expert quotes, and interviews on BriefAsia.com and OpenTechWire.com, plus consideration for a speaking slot.
