Five Nepali technology organisations honoured at ASOCIO Digital and AI Awards 2026

KATHMANDU: Five technology organisations from Nepal were recognised at the ASOCIO Digital and AI Awards 2026 during the Asian‑Oceanian Computing Industry Organisation’s annual summit in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The ASOCIO Digital and AI Summit 2026 took place from October 5 to 7. Nepali winners were announced across five categories: Sunway International Business School won the AI in Talent Development Award; Insight Technology received the AI in Cyber Security Award; Wise Yak Solutions secured the AI in Healthcare Award; DV Excellus took the AI in Smart Agriculture Award; and Aaviyanta Foundation earned the AI in Workforce and Future Skills Award.

The organisations entered the competition following recommendations from Federation of Computer Association Nepal (CAN Federation), ASOCIO’s national member in Nepal. The CAN Federation said the nominations were chosen to reflect the diversity of the country’s information technology sector.

Nawaraj Kunwar, former president of the CAN Federation and vice chairman of ASOCIO, said that taking part in an international forum such as ASOCIO was a matter of pride for Nepal.

The CAN Federation added that the international recognition could help establish Nepal as a regional digital hub and encourage local technology firms to compete on the global stage.

The summit, held under the theme 'Transforming society and industry through a secure economy, technology, and practical AI', featured panel discussions, workshops and exhibitions on topics including artificial intelligence, cyber security, digital governance strategies, startup ecosystems and talent development. Representatives from 24 Asian-Oceanian countries attended the event.
