Converge ICT Solutions Inc., the Philippines’ only pure fiber broadband provider, was acknowledged as a beacon of success in the Philippines’ telecoms and ICT industry at the 15th Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2021 Regional Edition. For the second year in a row, the company was recognized for Corporate Excellence, and Dennis Anthony H. Uy, Co-Founder and CEO, was named a Master Entrepreneur.
“I started Converge several years ago with the goal to reach the unserved and underserved in the Philippines, to provide internet connection that is at par with the best in the world,” said Converge CEO Dennis Anthony H. Uy who received the award. “This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication that we have put into building a world-class digital highway for the country.”
The prestigious Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) is a regional award recognition program recognizing entrepreneurial excellence. The APEA is the recognition program of Enterprise Asia, a leading Asian non-government organization aimed at promoting entrepreneurship.
APEA honors business leaders and organizations that have shown outstanding performance and tenacity in developing successful businesses, while not neglecting the social responsibilities that come with leadership. All of the nominees have undergone a stringent evaluation, judging process, and a mandatory audit before being selected as the winners in all respective categories.
Enterprises that have proven sustainable economic growth, ethical leadership, and operational efficiency are recognized in the Corporate Excellence Category. The Master Entrepreneurial Category honors business executives who have exhibited entrepreneurial qualities that make them role models for others, as well as the resilience and persistence to keep inventing and making a real difference in the face of adversity.
Opening the awards night, President of Enterprise Asia, Richard Tsang said, “This year’s theme of the APEA is ‘The Great Reset: Towards a Sustainable Recovery’. The pandemic has torn into the very foundation of our societies and our economies. As business leaders, we have the opportunity to take bold steps to reshape our economies.”
“I hope this award will inspire other budding entrepreneurs to work hard, pursue their dreams and help uplift the lives of others,” said Converge’s Uy.
Converge is on track to meet millions of unserved and underserved households and businesses across the country as it connects the Visayas and Mindanao to its national domestic backbone. Converge wants to reach 55 percent household coverage by 2025, with fiber connectivity currently covering only about 12 percent of the market.
