We’re beyond excited to share that Wealth Wizards has been named the JA Asia Pacific Company of the Year 2026, after an incredible week competing against 21 top student enterprises from 12 countries, representing over 80,000 participants across the region. Last year, we started this journey by winning the Hong Kong round, where we beat 75 teams made up of more than 1,800 students. To now bring home 1st Place Company of the Year and 3rd Place Product of the Year at the regional level feels truly surreal.
Our product, a financial literacy board game designed to make money management engaging and accessible for children, formed the foundation of our success and mission to build a generation of financially confident youth.
This achievement means we’ll be representing the entire Asia Pacific region at the upcoming JA De La Vega Global Entrepreneurship Award, competing against the best teams from five other regions around the world. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of Ms. Kim and Mr. Wilkinson, and the incredible efforts of our team, especially the unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind the scenes: Faith, Jil, Henrietta, Chengxi, Dev, Russell, Leanna and Shaurya.
We’re incredibly honored to represent a region filled with such passionate and talented youth, and we can’t wait to see what’s next on the global stage.
