Under each of these categories, two awards – ‘Company of the Year’ and ‘Business Leader of the Year’ – will be presented to the winners.

Along with these industries, the Gulf Business Industry Awards will also announce the winners of four individual categories:

Innovator of the Year
Entrepreneur of the Year
Businesswoman of the Year

Gulf Business is also proud to present its inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award, the most special award this evening, which will be presented to an individual who has been instrumental in shaping the UAE’s growth and whose vision and leadership has guided the country to success.
