Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, the award aims to honour companies, establishments, and individuals who have demonstrated high levels of excellence and success in business. It also seeks to cultivate a culture of innovation within the UAE and Gulf private sectors, promoting the adoption of global best practices and standards.
The Chamber encourages the UAE and GCC private sector companies and business communities to participate in the new edition of the Sharjah Excellence Award. Participants have a great opportunity to benefit from numerous advantages, including outreach courses and programmes to be organised by SCCI during the coming period.
These programmes coincide with the candidate evaluation stages, which are based on stringent criteria including quality, innovation, and positive societal impact.
Abdallah Sultan Al Owais, Chairman of SCCI and Chairman of Sharjah Excellence Award Board of Trustees, affirmed that the award’s previous editions witnessed extensive participation of local and Gulf-based businesses and enterprises.
This demonstrates the region’s increasing commitment to a culture of excellence and indicates that the award successfully achieves its goals by recognising the pioneers of excellence who serve as role models in the UAE and Gulf business communities.
Al Owais further noted that the award embodies the SCCI’s vision of fostering a sustainable economy driven by knowledge and innovation. It also underscores the Chamber’s belief that excellence is an ongoing journey of development and enhancement, elevating collaborative efforts to motivate the business community to adopt global best practices and promote a culture of quality and innovation in the workplace.
