The Ajman Chamber of Commerce and Industry secured two honors at the 2026 Middle East and North Africa Stevie Awards, according to a report from the Emirates News Agency. The chamber earned the Gold Stevie Award in the category for Innovation in Customer Service Management, Planning and Practice while also taking the Bronze Stevie Award for Innovative Achievement in Corporate Social Responsibility. This recognition highlights the chamber’s work in service development and empowering the business community in line with broader emirate goals for economic growth.
Eng. Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Muwaiji, chairman of the Ajman Chamber, praised the advanced levels of innovation and institutional excellence achieved by the organization in a statement carried by the Emirates News Agency. He highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance services in alignment with Ajman Vision 2030, which focuses on improving the ease of doing business, expanding private sector activities and promoting investment opportunities across various sectors. Al Muwaiji further emphasized the chamber’s role in empowering private enterprises to adopt sustainable and innovative best practices that contribute to business growth and community wellbeing.
The Stevie Awards represent one of the world’s premier business awards programs founded in 2002 to honor achievements and positive contributions of organizations and professionals globally, the Stevie Awards organization has reported. The Middle East and North Africa edition is open to entities across 18 nations in the region and has grown to recognize innovation across multiple sectors since its inception. More than 300 guests from dozens of winning organizations typically attend the related ceremonies, which feature categories spanning customer service, corporate social responsibility and institutional development.[[1]](https://stevieawards.com/about-stevie%C2%AE-awards)[[2]](https://blog.stevieawards.com/blog/2024-middle-east-north-africa-stevie-award-winners-honored-and-premier-grand-stevie-award-winner-announced-in-ras-al-khaimah)
Al Muwaiji noted that winning two Middle East and North Africa Stevie Awards serves as a testament to the continuous evolution of the Ajman Chamber’s business and service ecosystems. “The economic sector is characterised by constant change and development,” Al Muwaiji stated. “This drives Ajman Chamber to keep pace with these shifts by continuously upgrading its services and supporting proactive initiatives.” He added that by adopting global best practices and championing innovation and digital transformation the chamber aims to meet the needs of the business community, enhance performance efficiency and streamline procedures.
The awards align with the Ajman Chamber’s 2024-2030 strategy unveiled two years earlier, which seeks to bolster economic growth, improve the business environment, attract investment and support innovation and sustainability across sectors, according to earlier statements from the chamber. The strategy envisions Ajman as a vibrant economic city leading in quality of life enhancements, investment attraction and business facilitation while aligning with directives from the emirate’s leadership. Such efforts have positioned the chamber to address constant changes in the economic landscape through proactive measures.
This latest success adds to the Ajman Chamber’s growing list of recognitions, including its selection among the world’s top four chambers in the 2025 World Chambers Competition for a project focused on diversity, inclusion and reducing bureaucracy. The chamber has emphasized eliminating procedural obstacles for entrepreneurs and exchanging best practices with international counterparts as part of its mandate. Officials have described these achievements as reinforcing Ajman’s position on the global economic map and supporting the UAE’s vision for a diversified, sustainable economy.
