Nominations open for Pikom Digital Excellence Awards 2025
KUALA LUMPUR: Nominations are now open for the Pikom Digital Excellence Awards (PDEA) 2025, which recognise the nation's leading figures and organisations in digital innovation and leadership.
Organised by the National Tech Association of Malaysia (Pikom), the annual awards celebrate individuals and companies that are driving transformation across Malaysia's digital economy.
Pikom chairman Alex Liew said the awards went beyond recognising achievement, as they validated the transformative power of digital innovation in the country.
"Being recognised at the PDEA is a defining moment for both individuals and organisations. It opens new doors, enhances credibility, and extends influence," he said in a statement today.
The 2025 edition follows the success of last year's awards, which honoured 33 recipients — including two companies that are now preparing to list on Bursa Malaysia or transition from the LEAP to the ACE market.
Award categories span a wide range of sectors, including cybersecurity, fintech, e-commerce, cloud services, artificial intelligence, ESG in tech, and outstanding digital transformation initiatives.
There are also individual accolades for technology luminaries, chief information officers, women tech leaders, and tech entrepreneurs.
Nominations will be evaluated by a panel of industry experts, based on criteria such as innovation, impact, execution, leadership, and alignment with Malaysia's digital economy agenda.
The awards ceremony will conclude with a gala night on Sept 10 at the Sunway Resort Hotel.
