The esteemed panel of judges interacted with the presenters in a Q&A and then chose seven winners from the below regions and one special Wild Card category. These seven finalists will move on to pitch at WiT Singapore 2022, October 3-5, with one winner chosen to present at The Phocuswright Conference Innovation Summit, November 14-17 in Phoenix, AZ.
