MIDDLE EAST INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AWARDS

Following the success of its predecessors in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and China, as well as its inauguration in the region last year, the Middle East International Business Awards is now back to honor the region's top international firms.

The awards programme aims to celebrate the achievements and recognise the contributions of outstanding foreign firms to the Middle East economy.

The awards programme is open to companies in all industries with global headquarters located outside of the Middle East, with successful operations in the region. If you are one of these companies, nominate and seize this opportunity to be awarded for your award-winning project, product, service, strategy, initiative or innovation.

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.
