EXCLUSIVE SUB-EVENT

Since 2014 a special forum was incorporated in the annual Muslim World Biz where the award recipients share their stories of success and how they managed to overcome different types of challenges. The Round Table Talk is exclusive for the participation of success-driven CEOs, entrepreneurs and top university graduates who would certainly benefit from the knowledge that is being shared. Also, the ‘jewels’ usually respond to questions and enquiries by the participants to help them draw and implement workable strategies.

AWARD RECIPIENTS

The award recipients come from different industries and they are highly recognised for their excellent achievements that positively impact people’s daily life. Since 2011 a total of 59 leaders from 19 countries received the Jewels of the Muslim World Award. The winners are selected based on both their record of excellence to build and grow successful organisations and also in reference to the service they provide to facilitate the life of people in the local, regional and international communities.
