The impact of technology on social and human development is one of BEYOND’s main concerns. Therefore, the BEYOND organizing committee established the BEYOND Impact Awards. Based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, the award recognizes companies that have made significant contributions in the environmental, social, economic and technological fields. These companies have addressed carbon emissions, public health, environmental protection and social poverty alleviation with technological innovation under the premise of carbon neutrality.
BEYOND Awards Committee
The BEYOND Awards Committee is established by the BEYOND Expo Organizing Committee. Key members from previous years came from BEYOND Expo global partners and international investment institutions. The BEYOND Awards 2024 Evaluation Committee is deeply involved in setting standards, evaluating the four major technology awards, and establishing a standardized selection mechanism for the BEYOND Awards.
In October 2023, BEYOND Awards 2024 will officially launch the annual judges’ application process. We aim to invite a wide range of venture capital experts, industry and economic experts, industry technology experts, and foreign judges to select the best technological innovation projects for the BEYOND Awards.
Judges will ensure fair and authoritative assessments of award applicants based on their professional knowledge and industry experience. The judges’ professional backgrounds and achievements must be widely recognized and respected within the industry. Throughout the award selection process, judges will conduct in-depth research and analysis of the applicants. Through initial audition, secondary selection, and final selection, judges will determine the best innovators to be the winners to encourage more people to engage in technological innovation.
Technology is transforming various traditional industries. Scientific and technological innovations can drive progress and contribute to the sustainable development of the global economy, society, and environment. We are now on the cusp of a digitization transition, and we believe that innovation will bring opportunities for kinds of industries.

Science is driven by curiosity and may not always be useful; technology is driven by quantifiable goals and usually has to be useful; engineering is driven by economics and is useful mostly in public projects; major scientific engineering project is driven by grand mission and big goals, and hope to be useful to everyone. Science and technology without humanistic care are dangerous.

The world is facing many unprecedented challenges, especially with a raging pandemic. Technology can change the world, so it is essential for technological companies to take social responsibilities. What are their social responsibilities? These companies should be responsible for the environment, the society, and all relevant stakeholders when creating profits and be accountable for shareholders and employees.
