Asia Pacific - Junior Achievement Company of the Year 2020... Winners!

You may recall back in February, Team ScrapCap took Singapore by storm, becoming the winners of '2020 Junior Achievement Company of the Year - Singapore' competition! The prize should have been an all-expenses paid trip to the Philippines to represent Singapore and Nexus in the Asia Pacific Finals.

On 8 and 9 November 2021, they attended the virtual finals as they were unable to travel to Manila due to Covid-19, but it was still a chance to win at the next level. The pressure was on as Team Revival from Nexus (last year's company) claimed this prize, making Team ScrapCap the defending champions for Nexus.

I'm delighted to share that Team ScrapCap took the top prize, impressing the judges above the other 19 National Winning teams. The finals consisted of a 4-minute video (see above), an interview and a pitch to showcase their ethical and innovative business and their overall learning journey.

Well done to the 4 presenters, Hugo Khaou, Maya Fowler, Taiga Tanaka and Xavier Muhammad and additionally, Louis Hsieh who produced the video and gave technical support. The whole team deserve recognition for their incredible efforts - they are Charlie Maclean, Marcus Little, Seb Leah, Emila Shi, Jinxi He, Duncan Ryan, Elisa Pinker Rego, Seth Klinzing and Max Ying.

I look forward to announcing details of the World finals in the coming months.

Thanks to everybody who supported them.
