Excellence in Transformational Business Winner: MicroEnsure, United Kingdom |
AWARDS OVERVIEW
The Transformational Business Awards are open to all
financial and non-financial private sector organisations. The focus is on
specific projects and transactions and the impact those initiatives have or
promise to have on the problems they are targeting. Special attention will be
given to privately-led public-private partnerships.
While the focus of all categories is on transformational impact in developing economies, the awards are also open to projects in the developed world that could be replicated in severely under-supplied regions.
Projects or transactions must have passed the implementation stage, and must be commercially viable now or potentially within five years of implementation. Only initiatives that have been implemented since 2010 will be eligible.
