The IJGlobal Awards 2023 for the Asia Pacific region were hosted this evening in the historic Raffles Hotel, Singapore, to a crowded room of infrastructure and energy professionals from across APAC.

The event was hosted by IJGlobal’s APAC head of content Manju Dalal alongside Anita Kapoor who is famed as a moderator, host, MC, spokesperson, voiceover artist and podcaster, a former travel television host with shows across CNA and Discovery.
