We undertake a 2-month research and nomination campaign to collect entries from all regions, sectors and backgrounds to identify the innovative individuals and companies shaping the continent today.

All nominations are vetted and scored by the AABLA™ research committee. The 3-4 highest scoring nominations for each category will create the AABLA Shortlist for the Judges consideration.

The AABLA™ Judges is a panel of senior executives carefully selected for their industry knowledge and experience. They review all shortlisted nominations. A detailed analysis of every application is discussed to choose a winner for each category. The independent scoring is confidentially validated by the Chairman of the Judges, a Business School and Validation Partner.
