About the SCMP Business Awards
The SCMP Business Awards is the evolution of Hong Kong’s most enduring business recognition platform, drawing on 35 years of institutional credibility to establish Asia’s leading authority on transformative leadership and cross-border innovation.
Reimagined for a new era of regional connectivity, the program serves as a strategic bridge between Hong Kong’s entrepreneurial heritage and the accelerating economic integration across the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia.
Positioned beyond the traditional awards format, the SCMP Business Awards functions as a year-round Business Excellence Community—uniting peer-judged recognition with SCMP’s extensive regional media network to spotlight leadership, impact, and innovation across Asia’s business landscape.
A Transformative Vision: To codify Asia's Business Leadership DNA
The SCMP Business Awards, which evolved from the 35-year legacy of the Hong Kong Business Awards, is expanding into Asia’s premier platform for celebrating innovation, leadership, and sustainable growth.
With a strategic pivot to encompass the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and pan-Asian markets, this revamped awards programme offers unmatched visibility and influence for corporate partners seeking to align with regional business leadership.
