This year’s awards will honor gold, silver, and bronze winners in ten business categories. These include Startup of the Year, Emerging Leader of the Year, Innovative Product of the Year, Innovation in Marketing Award, Tech Innovator Award, Customer Excellence Award, Social Impact Award, and Sustainability Award. There are also two new categories: Growth Champion and Best Newcomer Awards. Each category highlights a different area of innovation, growth, and social contribution, showing the awards’ commitment to recognizing the wide range of startup excellence.

The winners will be announced at a gala on November 15, 2024. The top 30 entries will be recognized, creating excitement as startups learn their rankings live. This event will also let startups showcase their achievements, connect with investors, and network with important industry players.
