THE AWARDS THE AWARDS The Gulf Business Industry Awards cover a wide spectrum of economic sectors, from energy to real estate. In each sector, a company and CEO of the Year will be awarded. One business leader from this group will be selected for the prestigious accolade of Gulf Business CEO of the Year. In 2015 we are also looking to recognise the efforts of start-ups and smaller businesses with the SME Business of the Year Award. ATTENDEES Each year, the Gulf Business Industry Awards welcomes regional business ambassadors at the highest possible level. From CEO's and high-ranking government executives, to top-level strategists and ground-breaking entrepreneurs, the typical profile of our guests is 30-years-plus, with a mid-to-top income bracket and high disposable income. Professionally, GBIA attendees are at the top of their game. Not only do they drive the corporate agenda, they also drive the national agenda. Our audience is comprised of eminent business people that have helped to raise the UAE's profile, both regionally and internationally.
