Sharjah Excellence Award 2024: Ceremony Date and Upcoming Developments
Upcoming Closing Ceremony
The Sharjah Excellence Award (SEA) is set to host its closing ceremony, recognizing the champions of the 2024 edition on June 25. This prestigious event, organized by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), comes under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, the Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah.
An Increase in Participation
During a recent meeting of the SEA’s Board of Trustees, it was highlighted that this year has seen a remarkable increase in participant engagement. The announcement, made by H.E. Abdallah Sultan Al Owais, who chairs both the SCCI and the Board of Trustees for the award, reflects the initiative’s growing influence in the business community of Sharjah.
Key Attendees and Collaborative Efforts
The meeting included several prominent figures, such as H.E. Hamad Ali Al Mahmoud from the Sharjah Economic Development Department, and H.E. Khalid Jasim Al Midfa from the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority. Their presence underscores the broad institutional support for the award and its sustainability as a competitive platform for local businesses.
Registration Deadline Extension for Next Edition
A significant decision made during the meeting was to extend the registration deadline for the 2025 edition of the Sharjah Excellence Award to January 31, 2026. This extension aims to encourage greater participation from private sector organizations and provide an opportunity for more businesses to take advantage of this recognition.
Proposals for New Initiatives
In tandem with the deadline extension, SEA’s Board proposed the introduction of a new category called “Best Service Entity.” This initiative aims to broaden the scope of recognition and is part of a larger conversation about enhancing collaborative efforts and knowledge-sharing among various excellence awards throughout the UAE.
Commitment to Promoting Excellence
H.E. Abdallah Sultan Al Owais began the meeting by commending the SEA team for their hard work and commitment. He reaffirmed SCCI’s dedication to utilizing the award as a strategic platform for fostering excellence and innovation in the business sector. This commitment aligns seamlessly with Sharjah’s development strategy, which emphasizes quality, innovation, and institutional excellence in building a sustainable, knowledge-based economy.
Enhancing Corporate Standards
The Board of Trustees emphasized that the award plays a central role in elevating corporate performance standards. This focus not only contributes to individual businesses but also supports Sharjah’s broader developmental goals as part of the UAE’s ambitious trajectory. The discussion emphasized the importance of advancing corporate responsibility and performance, which are crucial for the region’s economic growth.
Future Directions
Nada Al-Hajri, the General Coordinator of the Sharjah Excellence Award, outlined the key decisions made in the meeting, noting the importance of expanding the award’s appeal and outreach. The proposed adjustments aim to facilitate participation from companies beyond Sharjah, allowing businesses from all emirates in the UAE to join the competition.
