The ABLF Awards

16 Years • 17 Categories • 135 Winners

The ABLF Awards, the ABLF’s premiere recognition platform, has an impeccable history of 17 years of honouring leadership excellence. The Awards acknowledge the socio-economic intellectual capital of inspirational Asian leaders across the globe, showcasing trailblazers whose entrepreneurial brilliance is second only to their sense of responsibility and accountability towards the communities, countries and global markets that they live and work within.

The ABLF Awards Gala hosts an invite-only guest list of protocol-led VVIP attendees including Heads of State, Ministers of Governments, Chairpersons, C-Suite Leaders and top Representatives of Global Organisations, offering a focused PR and networking opportunity to build investor relations and goodwill.

The 16th Edition of ABLF Awards was held at the Expo 2020 Dubai, the world’s greatest show, a 6-month long trade fair that brought together over 190 nations in a celebration of innovation and excellence. The ABLF Awards was chosen to be a highlight of the closing month and was themed – ‘Resilience Rising: The Great Reset’ with an aim to recognise and celebrate the courage, spirit and fortitude of iconic stalwarts who are redefining the parameters of ‘sustainable progress’ in the pandemic-ravaged world.

The 17th Anniversary Edition of the ABLF Awards will be held in November 2023 with the nomination portal opening in January 2023.

As with the previous 16 high-profile editions, the ABLF Award 2023 nominees will be determined through the integrity-led global nomination portal which will then be vetted by the ABLF Executive Council and Grand Jury. This deciding body comprises a high-profile consortium of leaders from across Asia, each representing an opinion of the highest credibility and vision.
