For the 6th year in a row, the Gulf Capital SME Awards continues to celebrate and recognize outstanding SMEs from the UAE that have shown promising growth and disruptive innovation in their industries.

The awards ceremony offers SMEs an opportunity to raise their profile, gain exposure, and showcase their products and services.

This year’s ceremony will take place on October 11, 2017, at The Westin Mina Seyahi, Dubai. Check out some highlights from last year's ceremony below:

In addition to its regular categories, such as the Gulf Capital Business of the Year Award, Online Business of the Year Award, and Entrepreneur of the Year Award, this year's edition sees the introduction of a new category, the ‘Disruption of the Year Award’ which recognises an SME that has created an innovative disruption - a new market or a disruption in an existing market.

The judging panel will include a number of experienced industry experts, such as Mahmoud Atalla and Fidaa Haddad from Gulf Capital, Sirine Fadoul from DTEC Tech Startup Incubator, and Donna Benton, Founder and CEO of ‘The Entertainer’, among others.
