IJGlobal Awards 2025 – MENA Shortlist
We are hosting the Middle East and North Africa section of the IJGlobal Awards 2025 in Dubai in April – exact date yet to be confirmed – and today we’re announcing shortlists for the Company section.
As with all IJ awards, we take great pride in their peer-review nature, judged by an independent panel of industry experts that has the final say on all company winners. To read about the judges, click here…
This story identifies the organisations on the MENA shortlist – with the winners revealed on the night. However, there are a number of other company winners where the judges chose an outright winner (see end) that will be announced at the ceremony.
