A chance for companies to join the league of innovators redefining the future.

At Fast Company Middle East, we'd like to think of innovation as a simple thought that transforms into a great idea impacting businesses and society.

In 2022, the inaugural Most Innovative Companies list honored disruptive products, game-changing business strategies, and path-breaking designs.

This year, Most Innovative Companies aims to shine a light on companies that have showcased exceptional contributions to the Middle East’s growth and development. Over 240 companies have applied.

Fast Company Middle East’s annual list is the ultimate recognition of the most innovative companies in the Middle East. The nomination process closes on October 10, 2023, but the earlier the nomination is completed, the higher the chances of being shortlisted.

Here's why you should participate:

BRAND AMPLIFICATION

Being a winner at Most Innovative Companies signifies more than just an award. It validates your company’s unwavering commitment to creativity and impact and your pursuit of innovation. Being included in this list also gives your company visibility – appearing in the 2023 edition of Fast Company Middle East magazine and fastcompanyme.com.

CONNECT WITH INDUSTRY PIONEERS

Be a part of a list that offers the chance to interact with some of the most pioneering companies in the Middle East. This presents an opportunity to engage with innovators and embrace novel perspectives.

JOIN AN INSPIRING COMMUNITY

Being honored as a Most Innovative Company grants you entry into Fast Company’s expansive community. These companies we turn to first to identify speakers for events, such as the World Changing Ideas, Impact Council, and Green Goals Summit.

This year, we have more categories, we’ll name more winners, and create more opportunities for honorees.

FUNDING AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies also offers the opportunity for funding and strategic partnerships. Attaining success here signifies that your innovations are celebrated by industry peers and potential investors and collaborators, recognizing the importance of forward-looking enterprises and their impact on the region.

ATTRACTING TALENT

In a world of possibilities, top-notch professionals are invariably drawn to companies that prioritize innovation and possess a clear goal of doing good for society. For them, being associated with organizations making a significant impact is a source of pride.

Winning organizations would gain the Fast Company Middle East stamp of approval for creating a truly breakthrough technology and would appear on Fast Company Middle East’s website.
