Here are the Finalists for the CRN Channel Awards Asia 2025

The inaugural CRN Channel Awards Asia 2025 received over 120 entries from over 50 vendors, distributors, resellers, and IT companies in the region.

CRN Asia is proud to reveal the finalists for the inaugural CRN Channel Awards Asia 2025. After months of anticipation, the nomination process has officially closed, with more than 120 entries received from across the region. Participants included vendors, distributors, resellers, and IT companies representing a wide spectrum of the Asian tech channel.

One of the most competitive and popular categories this year was Security Vendor of the Year. Due to the high volume and diversity of submissions in this category, CRN Asia made the decision to divide it into three subcategories to better reflect the different capabilities and specializations of the entrants.

While many categories received an overwhelming number of high-quality entries, some unfortunately did not meet the necessary standards. As a result, a few categories were removed. Notably, the MSP and MSSP categories were combined into a single unified category while the Young Professional Initiative category was dropped altogether, as the submissions received failed to meet the expected quality and criteria.

After a thorough review and vetting process, CRN Asia is delighted to present the official list of finalists. Among the vendors that have been shortlisted in the various categories for vendors include Cisco, Huawei, Dell Technologies, Acronis, and many more. For the non-vendor categories, Crayon, WWT, Tech Data, AsiaPac Technology, and eCloudvalley are among the many finalists as well.

CRN Asia also received many entries for the Women of the Year award, which will now be split between vendors and non-vendors. The full list of all the finalists and the categories they have been nominated for can be found here.

These outstanding organizations and individuals will now proceed to the judging phase, where a panel of independent industry experts will evaluate their submissions.

Winners will be announced during the CRN Channel Awards Asia 2025 ceremony, scheduled to take place on September 25, 2025, in Singapore.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of this prestigious event celebrating excellence in the IT channel. Sponsorship opportunities for the gala dinner are still available and can be found here.
