Held for the first time this year in Singapore, the 7th APICTA Awards, organised by the Singapore infocomm Technology Federation (SiTF), will provide a platform for innovators and entrepreneurs in the ICT sectors to benchmark their products against those from other member economies. This year, APICTA Singapore 2007 received a record 70 nominations from 15 categories. 44 shortlisted products/applications from 39 companies/institutions will stand a chance to be part of Team Singapore, representing Singapore in the Regional APICTA 2007 Awards to be held here from 26-29 November 2007. Some of the other 16 participating member economies include Australia, China, Hong Kong, India and Korea.
Welcome Speech by APICTA Chairman - Mr Goh Chin Teck
The session started with a welcome speech by APICTA Chairman, Mr Goh Chin Teck, who expressed his thanks to all participants for sending in their nominations and spoke of his high hopes for APICTA Team Singapore to scale new heights. Team Singapore achieved 3 winners and 1 merit in APICTA 2006. However, with record nominations and “home ground” advantage this year, Mr Goh hopes that Team Singapore will be able to outshine the achievements last year.

Judges Feedback
Following the welcome speech, judges of APICTA Singapore were invited on stage to give their guidance and feedback on the participants. These useful feedback include clarity in message, visual representation and the mentality to win. The judges were also impressed by the students’ presentations in terms of their understanding from subject concern and their ability to break down complex ideas into simple ideas through a narration.
