The range of finalists below provides a powerful answer to why we created the MAIAs:

• from university-developed courses to YouTube cartoons made by a teenager;
• from ground-breaking academic research to a global anti-scam initiative;
• from the latest apps to a good old-fashioned, real-world museum.

These truly valuable projects also scan the globe, from Peru to Malaysia, from Finland to Ghana. The finalists alone come from more than 15 different countries – and many operate globally.

Our amazing panel of 11 judges have diligently read through all their respective entries, scoring and commenting on every answer, to arrive at this selection. Thank you so much to all of them.

In addition, we have closed our two “public vote” categories, Best Book and Best Influencer and selected the top five of each as finalists. Thank you to everyone who voted for their favourite.

At the end of this month, after a little more reviewing and discussion, we will announce the winners, the runners-up and highly commended entries, That will be via a live stream award show on LinkedIn on May 31: follow our social media links or subscribe to our newsletter to make sure you get the latest details and invite your followers with plenty of time for them to attend and celebrate with you.

To all of you whose entries didn’t make this finalist selection, thank you so much for the work you do, and for entering. We are truly grateful for all of it, and we hope you will consider entering again in 2023.

Here, in the order they entered, are the 40 Finalists from which our 2022 Winners will be chosen.
