Recognising First-Rate International Firms in the Middle East Region
We are thrilled to announce the return of the Middle East International Business Awards, building upon the success of previous editions in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and China. On its 4th year, the awards is back to spotlight and applaud the accomplishments of top international firms operating in the Middle East.
In an exciting development for this year's Middle East International Business Awards, there will be a notable change in format. The awards will now be presented on a country-level basis, highlighting the exceptional contributions of international firms within each individual country in the Middle East. This strategic shift aims to celebrate and acknowledge the unique impact that these companies have made on the economies and communities of the region.
It is crucial to note that the eligibility criteria remain unchanged; the awards welcome participation from companies across all industries, provided that their global headquarters are situated outside of the Middle East.
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 Bayer Middle East FZ-LLC, Cummins, New Balance Middle East Sportswear Trading LLC, The Hershey Company, Toray Membrane Middle East LLC, and Unilever Gulf.
Don't miss out on the chance to have your organisation's hard work and dedication acknowledged on a grand scale. Submit your entry now and be part of the Middle East International Business Awards, where excellence is celebrated and achievements are spotlighted. Your success story deserves to be heard!
Awards Dinner Venue: Grand Hyatt Dubai Convention Centre
