Eleven organisations from the private sector and government departments were honoured in a variety of categories including most committed buyer and best technology partner. Shaikha Lubna Al-Qasimi, Tejari's CEO, is personally presenting the awards throughout the five-day exhibition.

“Middle East-based organisations have proved wholly receptive to Tejari and each of these organisations has in some measurable way contributed to making Tejari the region's online business leader. These awards are a tangible way of honouring companies for advancing the online procurement model and the use of technology to improve efficiency, cost-cutting and transparency in trading,” said Shaikha Lubna.

The first award conferred by Tejari during Gitex 2004 recognised Dubai Electricity and Water Authority for being the marketplace's most committed buyer. Dubai Municipality was presented with an award for running the most successful supplier's adoption campaign.

At this year's ceremony, Dubai Civil Aviation was awarded for conducting the highest number and value of awarded auctions. Arab Bank in the UAE was recognised as the most committed buyer among the private sector companies trading on the Tejari marketplace.

A new category introduced this year was 'Most Active Regional Buyer,' highlighting Tejari's steady growth into other markets in the Middle East. This award went to Al Kharafi National, which created the highest number of buyer auctions on the Tejari marketplace based on data obtained from the marketplace as well as the experience of Tejari's international business department. Consideration for this award category was given to trading members in various countries including Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
