About WSA Singapore
The Singapore chapter of the World Summit Awards, finding and nominating Singapore’s best digital innovations for social impact.
The World Summit Awards
WSA was launched in 2003 within the framework of the UN World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). It recognises digital solutions that improve society and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, through a network that now spans 182 countries.
WSA is organised by the International Center for New Media (ICNM), an Austrian not-for-profit organisation founded by Prof. Peter A. Bruck.
