ABOUT

The 13 winners of the Advance Awards were selected after review by more than 20 subject matter experts and then a judging panel of renowned Australians who represent the country’s diverse entrepreneurial culture. Chaired by Advance Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Ken Allen AM, the judging panel includes Jillian Broadbent AO, Darren Burns, Michelle Garnaut AO, Alexie Glass Kantor, Sir Michael Hintze AM, Bob Isherwood, Andrew Liveris AO and Joseph Kwok.

The Advance Awards recognise the work of remarkable global Australians making an extraordinary impact on the global stage in industry sectors that are of particular importance to Australia. The Awards are the only of their kind to recognise the contributions of the Australian diaspora – the one million Australians living abroad and 2.5 million former international students at Australian universities.
