KUCHING: The Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment Sarawak, in association with Sarawak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) and EY, is organising the Sarawak Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (EOYS).

SCCI disclosed that up until last year, some 70 entrepreneurs had been recognised for their achievements.

“The EOYS aims to recognise the best businesses in Sarawak…the prime movers that drive the state’s economic growth. It also aims to recognise the success of up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

“Besides that, the awards aim to encourage the growth of small and medium industries in Sarawak,” SCCI said today.

“Nomination is now open and emphasis will primarily be on the individual’s attributes over the company’s, among  others, demonstration of outstanding leadership, vision, dedication as well as intelligent risk-taking.”

SCCI added that nomination was also based on the company’s milestones with consideration for industry obstacles and each entrepreneur’s ability to overcome adversity; corporate culture, values and incentives; financial performance and growth record; social and environmental responsibilities; and reputation and contribution to the community.

“There are three categories, namely Emerging Entrepreneur for businesses between two and five years old, or entrepreneurs aged 35 or under at the time of nomination deadline, and the Master Entrepreneur for management excellence over a sustained period and businesses founded more than five years ago.

“The Excellent Entrepreneur (Beyond Sarawak) is for running a successful business in Malaysia or overseas.”

Nominations can be submitted to SCCI no later than Aug 30.
