The winners were selected from close to 50 nominations by an independent judging panel.

One of the three winners will be named EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2020 Singapore, and will represent the Republic at the annual EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year (WEOY) award in 2021 to compete with contenders from over 60 jurisdictions.
