Recognising Exceptional Homegrown Companies in the Middle East Region

#MiddleEastBusinessAwards

The Middle East National Business Awards is thrilled to honor and acknowledge the remarkable initiatives and projects of locally established companies across diverse industries in the Middle East region. In a notable change this year, the awards will be presented on a country-level basis, specifically recognising and celebrating the achievements of homegrown companies within each country.

This localized approach ensures a focused acknowledgment of companies in individual business environments and industry landscapes. The evaluation of entries by experts from top accounting firms will be based on criteria such as Uniqueness & Innovation, Effectiveness & Impact, and Dynamism.

Winners will be unveiled at a prestigious awards ceremony attended by influential figures in the business community. Our previous awardees were lauded for their hard work and dedication that brought tangible contributions to their businesses. Some of them came from the biggest companies and organisations, including Coffee Planet, Marafiq, Ooredoo Oman and Skiply – RAKBANK

Submit your entry now and join us in recognizing and applauding the outstanding achievements of homegrown businesses across the Middle East. Your excellence deserves to be highlighted!
