Bal Krishen, September 11, 2025, MSN

The Gulf Business Awards 2025 has officially revealed its shortlist of nominees, marking the next milestone in one of the region’s most respected business recognition platforms.

Scheduled for September 24, 2025, at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi, the awards will once again honour the companies and individuals shaping the Gulf’s economic and business landscape.

Now in its 13th year, the Gulf Business Awards continues to celebrate innovation, resilience, leadership, and impact across sectors including banking, real estate, healthcare, technology, energy, and tourism.

Each year, the awards highlight achievements across both the public and private sectors — from startups disrupting traditional models to established conglomerates driving regional influence. The newly revealed shortlist reflects this diversity, showcasing businesses and leaders that are playing a pivotal role in the GCC’s transformation journey.

Nominees will now move forward to the final stage, where an independent panel of judges — comprising regional experts, industry veterans, and Gulf Business editorial leadership — will determine the winners through a process designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and merit-based recognition.

The 2025 edition promises not only to celebrate outstanding business achievement but also to provide an evening of high-profile networking and inspiration, attended by decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and executives from across the region.
