The criteria for shortlisting successful nominees' were based on some key performance indicators (KPIs) in the standards of excellence, including information technology, innovation, competitive pricing and healthy practices.

Categories

The award categories are modelled to recognise industry players and businesses that have stood out, and made significant contributions to the business sector and the economy at large.

Some of the award categories that promise to be the toast of the night are the awards for Company of the Year, Personality of the Year, CEO of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year, with the honorary Life Time Achievement and Woman of Excellence awards going to Mr Ishmael Yamson and Prof Elsie Kaufman respectively.

The ceremony which is being organised in partnership with the World Leader Summit, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre and the Institute of Directors (IoD), with support from the Graphic Communications Group Limited and Media General seeks to promote business excellence nationally and internationally, and as well as provide an unparalleled opportunity for networking among industry players.
