It’s a list that includes the biggest and brightest names in UAE industry as the finalists of the Arabian Business Awards 2021 are unveiled.
On January 26, at the Etihad Museum in Dubai, located on the same historical site of the Union House, the very place where the UAE’s constitution was signed in 1971, the Arabian Business Awards 2021 will look back at 50 years of success, and capture the excitement for the decades ahead with a day of insights and an evening of celebration.
In our first industry ‘Oscars’ to be presented at a spectacular gala dinner, a host of honours are up for grabs with 10 industries being awarded, two winners from each category – with one marking five decades of achievement and one recognising the innovators of the future.
In total 80 companies have been named as finalists in the awards, handpicked by the editorial teams at ITP Media Group’s verticals which specialise in each sector.
The full list of finalists are detailed below and the evening promises to be an incredible way to leap into the opportunities of 2022.
The daytime event will also lean into the future with our exciting AB SME Forum, which, also in a first, will feature the Future Falcons pitch event. Budding start-ups will present their ideas in the hope of winning a prize package that includes funding, media support and mentoring from Arabian Business and leading entrepreneurs.
For enquiries about sponsorship opportunities, please get in touch with our commercial director Saraswati Agarwal at [email protected].
