ABOUT

ENTREPRENEUR MIDDLE EAST
LEADERSHIP AWARDS 2025

For more than a decade, the Enterprise Agility Awards have been a cornerstone of recognition for the Middle East’s most innovative and resilient businesses. Over the past 11 years, they have celebrated the visionaries, entrepreneurs, and organizations whose adaptability and forward-thinking strategies have shaped industries and inspired growth across the region.

As the business landscape evolves, so too does the way we honor its leaders. Starting this year, the awards will be known as the Entrepreneur Middle East Leadership Awards. This new name reflects a broader focus: not only celebrating agility, but also recognizing the wider spectrum of leadership that drives progress—vision, impact, and the ability to guide others through change.

The Entrepreneur Middle East Leadership Awards remain a powerful platform to highlight those who lead with purpose, inspire innovation, and leave a lasting mark on the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
