Outstanding organisations lauded in Middle East Technology Excellence and Middle East International Business Awards

The best technology and business companies were renowned in the inaugural digital rites.

The demand for technology innovation and digital transformation was pushed to unprecedented heights over the two years since the pandemic happened. Organisations that had previously laid out plans were driven to expedite their journey to keep serving consumers and stay competitive.

But challenge is just another word for opportunity to innovate, disrupt, and shine. The Asian Business Review is thus proud to recognise these most remarkable organisations in the Middle East that showed resilience and outstanding performance in these challenging times through two new awards programmes: the Middle East Technology Excellence Awards and Middle East International Business Awards.

The Middle East Technology Excellence Awards honours enterprises that have significantly contributed to the technology innovation in their respective industries, whilst the Middle East International Business Awards lauds global companies that have found a solid foothold in the region.

The trophies will be presented to the winning organisations in digital ceremonies from 25 October to 5 November 2021. The winners also had the opportunity to share their thoughts on winning in the prestigious awards programme through virtual interviews.

Industry leaders were invited to judge the entries and select winners. Comprising the Middle East Technology Excellence Awards judges’ panel were Fadi Komati, Technology Transformation Leader, PwC Middle East; Amit Tenglikar, Associate Director, Technology Advisory Services, BDO UAE; Glen Thomas, Partner, Technology Advisory, Grant Thornton UAE; Binit Shah, Partner, Information Technology, Crowe UAE; and Dr. Swamy Pentyala, Partner, CEO, Infotech Solutions & Technology Practice Leader, Baker Tilly Middle East. 

Meanwhile, the Middle East International Business Awards judges’ panel consisted of Farhan Syed, Partner and Head of Advisory, MESA and Lower Gulf, KPMG; Hisham Farouk, CEO, Grant Thornton UAE; Dr. Khalid Maniar, Founder and Managing Partner, Crowe UAE; Dr. Bassam Dahman, Managing Partner, UAE | Regional Leader – MENWA, RSM; and Surya Narayanan Krishna Moorthy, Partner & Chief Executive Officer (Sharjah & Northern Emirates), Baker Tilly.
