The highly anticipated results for the Arabian Business Achievement Awards 2024, carefully sealed in a guarded briefcase have arrived at Atlantis The Royal, where visionaries, dignitaries and industry leaders have gathered for the ‘industry Oscars’ to celebrate those who have demonstrated excellence over the past 12 months.
The names of the winners were concealed following careful consideration by an elite group of judges from among the business, professional, and academic communities in the Middle East. The results will be revealed live for the first time at the ceremony when the winners are announced.
The process was carried out by an external auditing body, with no other organisation having knowledge of the winners prior to the announcement.
The Arabian Business Achievement Awards has become synonymous with celebrating outstanding achievements and innovation across diverse sectors, from technology and healthcare to hospitality, retail and more.
