The detikSumatera Awards is a platform from detikcom to honour figures, institutions, communities and businesses that deliver innovation and tangible contributions to Sumatra’s progress.

This prestigious recognition is specifically presented to those who have succeeded in bringing about real change and contributing to regional advancement through innovative programmes, consistent business growth and concrete actions by change-makers across Sumatra.

The detikSumatera Awards features four main award categories: the Commendable Development Innovation Programme Award, the Commendable Economic Programme Award, the Commendable Business Programme Award, and the Accelerator of Progress Figure Award.

More than just an awards event, the detikSumatera Awards is expected to spark more strategic collaborations and fresh ideas whose benefits are genuinely felt by communities across Sumatra.
