Better Choice Awards 2026 launches innovation and nation-building categories

The Better Choice Awards 2026 has announced the opening of voting and evaluation for two major award tracks: the Innovative Choice Awards (ICA) and the Nation Builders Awards.

The Innovative Choice Awards focus on technological innovation and digital transformation in Vietnam. The ICA features 10 categories, including solutions for end-users, B2B platforms, community healthcare, and digital payments. These categories aim to recognize products ranging from established platforms to emerging startups in fields such as artificial intelligence and green transformation.

The Nation Builders Awards recognize enterprises and brands contributing to Vietnam's national capacity and position. This track is divided into two components: a Council-led segment and a community voting segment. The Council segment evaluates strategic sectors such as digital infrastructure, national energy, and technology-driven industries. The community voting segment, titled ‘Pride of Vietnam,’ allows the public to select brands that have achieved international presence or high levels of domestic trust.
