Business digital solutions honored at the ASEAN Digital Awards 2026

At the ASEAN Digital Awards 2026 (ADA 2026), the Private Sector category continues to clearly reflect the role of businesses in the region's digital transformation. This category honors digital solutions developed by businesses that aim to improve operational efficiency, services, and competitiveness in key economic sectors.

The top three awards in this year's category went to companies from Malaysia and Singapore, with solutions ranging from digital healthcare and smart logistics to digital collaboration platforms.

Digital healthcare is moving toward proactive care.

The Gold Award in the Private Sector category was presented to WeHealth, developed by UMCH Technology Sdn Bhd (Malaysia). This digital solution in the healthcare sector reflects the growing trend of private enterprises participating deeply in the digital healthcare ecosystem in ASEAN.

WeHealth is highly regarded for its user-centric approach, focusing on connecting healthcare services, health data, and care experiences on a digital platform.

The fact that a healthcare solution developed by a private company won the Gold Award shows that healthcare is no longer the exclusive domain of the public sector, but is expanding into a more flexible public-private partnership model and digitized services.

Logistics and digital infrastructure in the supply chain

In the Silver category, PSA Singapore's PSA 5G-Enabled Smart Port represents the smart logistics infrastructure solutions group. Seaports are one of the crucial links in the regional supply chain, and the application of digital technology , especially high-speed connectivity, is considered a key condition for enhancing competitiveness.

PSA Singapore's recognition in the Private Sector category demonstrates that digital transformation in logistics is not just about automation, but is moving towards building a smart port ecosystem where data, connectivity, and digital operations play a central role. This is also a trend that many ASEAN economies are pursuing amidst increasing regional trade and transportation.

The Bronze award went to Collaveo, a product of Innoveam Sdn Bhd (Malaysia). Unlike healthcare or logistics, Collaveo represents a group of digital collaboration and work platform solutions, serving the needs of connecting, coordinating, and managing work within businesses.

Collaveo's inclusion in the list of winners shows that the judging panel highly values ​​solutions that directly address internal business operational challenges, especially in the context of increasingly popular flexible and distributed work models. This is not a new field in terms of technology, but it requires continuous refinement to suit the actual needs of businesses.

Overall, the three winning solutions in the Private Sector category at the ASEAN Digital Awards 2026 clearly reflect the priorities of digital transformation for businesses in the region: digital healthcare, smart logistics serving the supply chain, and collaboration platforms supporting business operations.

Within the overall picture of the ASEAN Digital Awards 2026, the Private Sector category shows that digital transformation is taking place from the real needs of the market, with businesses being a key force driving technology into the economic life of the region.
