Unleashed Awards Judge Yat Siu encourages Hong Kong based start-ups to enter!

We are privileged to again have Yat Siu, founder and CEO of Outblaze join us for the fourth consecutive year as a Talent Unleashed Awards judge and panellist from Hong Kong.

Yat Sui Talent Unleashed Awards

A serial technology entrepreneur and investor, Yat founded Outblaze in 1998 and was a pioneer in cloud computing services and the first company to offer fully hosted multilingual communication services for online communities. Today, Outblaze develops and provides various digital media products and services including virtual community services, online transaction systems, web communication software, smartphone apps and games, social media applications, and more.

Yat also founded mobile games publisher Animonica, which in its first year published 200 apps and accrued over 60 million players before attracting investments from Intel Capital and IDG-Accel.

With his extensive experience Yat makes a welcome addition to our International Judging Panel that also includes Sir Richard Branson and Steve Wozniak.

“With the addition of Yat, we literally have a star studded collection of amazing entrepreneurs and change makers. All bring with them something different and yet they are united in the drive to uncover and nurture great technology talent,” said Talent Founder and Executive Chairman Richard Earl.

Based in Hong Kong, Yat hopes to see strong representation from across the Asia region, which has in previous years delivered winners that have gone on to achieve immense success. One of these winners is Paul Lee from Aumeo Audio who has created technology that enhances and customises the human listening experience. Read more about the Aumeo Audio Unleashed Awards journey here.

Lee commenting “The Talent Unleashed Awards along with the recognition by the star judges, is really what kept us going at a low point in our business. This is the honest truth, we wouldn’t be there without the win.”

Having invested personally in over 30 start-up ventures in recent years, Yat is actively involved in supporting entrepreneurs at Cyberport, a digital community in Hong Kong with close to 900 digital tech companies backed by the Hong Kong SAR Government.

Cyberport focuses on building key clusters of digital technology, namely FinTech, eCommerce, IoT/Wearables and Big Data/AI to foster the development of Hong Kong into a “Smart City”.  With an array of state of the art tech facilities and a committed team of professionals offering mentoring and support, Cyberport is the flagship for Hong Kong’s digital tech industry.

When asked about this year’s awards, Yat Siu stated “I look forward to a terrific event at this year’s Talent Unleashed Awards. It’s always a privilege to be called upon to assess innovative and creative technology ideas, and especially so in the distinguished company of my fellow judges. It’s fantastic to see so many young entrepreneurs working to make the world better with inspiring and game-changing companies.” Yat Siu said.

Hong Kong based companies with bold ideas and brave leaders it’s time for you to get involved! Get the global recognition you deserve which could take your business to the next level. It’s time to enter the 2017 Talent Unleashed Awards. Hurry Entries close on 31 August!
