THE BIGGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS
COMPETITION IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Created a decade ago, the Awards are all about motivating the nation’s 300,000 SMEs. They reward the thought leaders and the innovators who aspire to change how things are done.

Stars of Business is fair, scientific and audited. Winning isn’t just about commercial success – perhaps you’ll catch the Judges’ eye by being a model of governance and best practice.

The Awards are presented at a glamorous gala dinner, attended by Government representatives and the UAE’s key influencers and Captains of Industry.

When you click ‘Nominate’, you can enter any of the 17 categories below.
Your entry will be assessed objectively by a Jury drawn from the private and public sectors.
We’ll invite the three top-placed companies in each section to our Awards gala evening on October 27th – where the winners will be announced for the first time.
There is one overall, ultimate winner – the Star of Business. You can’t enter for this category – it’s awarded as a People’s Choice by popular vote
