The Africa's Most Respected CEOs Award is the largest awards scheme embarked upon by The Business Executive to date. It is basically structured along the same lines as our flagship Ghana Industry CEO Awards which we have organized and hosted on an annual basis in Ghana and Nigeria, which we are now on the verge of replicating in Liberia shortly.

This is order to identify and publicly recognize worthy trade counterparties and cross border investment partners for enterprises and institutions seeking to take advantage of the AfCFTA to engage in cross border trade and investment both within the continent and between Africa and the other continents of the world.

The selection process will be similar to that deployed with great success in organizing the Ghana Industry CEO Awards. Nominations will be accepted from the general publics in AfCFTA member nations; will be validated by the relevant chambers of commerce; will be shortlisted by our dedicated research consultants; and finally the shortlisted nominees will be voted for across the continent to arrive at the eventual winners in each category.

The awards will also comprise a separate section which will assess and adjudge the various national and regional chambers of commerce for the most exemplary ones to be conferred with awards.

Awardees will be conferred with their awards at the biggest pan African gathering of captains of commerce and direct investors ever – the African Industry CEO Awards Conferment Ceremony, which will be held in Kenya on the 1st of August 2024.
