About the Awards

Awards Categories

For more than a decade, the Arabian Business Achievement Awards has been one of the most prestigious events in the region, and has traditionally seen participation from some of the biggest names in business and politics, both regionally and internationally. Previous attendees have included HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, King Abdullah II of Jordan and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The awards are adjudicated by an independent judging panel consisting of some of the Middle East’s top businessmen. The awards seek to recognise and reward outstanding corporate leadership across a range of sectors, with nominations being drawn from across the Gulf and wider Middle East region.

This year’s Arabian Business Achievement Awards will see fierce competition in 12 award categories. Winners are decided by a rigorous judging process that sees a shortlist of nominees in each category created by the ITP Executive editorial team based on business activity over the past 12 months. This shortlist is then assessed by an elite judging panel, comprised of some of the region’s most prominent and successful business leaders, before winners are announced on the night at a lavish gala dinner. This year’s categories include:

• • • • • • • • • • • •
