With 287,841 live subscribers for the International Elite 100 2025 edition, spanning various global industry sectors in 163 countries, we have significant international audience and influence.
Our award process begins with a thorough review of each submission, guided by predefined criteria and specific guidelines. Each entry is carefully evaluated using a comprehensive scoring system that considers a range of important factors, including:
- Innovation: The uniqueness and originality demonstrated in the submission.
- Impact: The tangible and intangible effects the submission has achieved within its context.
- Measurable Results: Quantifiable outcomes or improvements resulting from the initiative.
- Alignment with Award Objectives: How well the submission supports and advances the overarching goals and objectives of the award.
This structured approach ensures that all entries are assessed fairly and consistently, recognising those that exemplify excellence in their field.
Finalist details are distributed by our awards team to judges based in the UK, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, Italy, and the USA. These judges make the final decisions, considering the information provided by both our team and, when applicable, by the finalists themselves.
The IE100 award panel evaluates each nominee by carefully reviewing all available information, including company profiles, news articles we provide, public reviews, and any other relevant materials. This comprehensive review allows the panel to make an informed decision about whether a nominee is deserving of the IE100 award.
Our distinguished panel of Judges is comprised exclusively of retired CEOs, CFOs, and Directors from major organisations, many of whom have appeared on the cover of Forbes. Their extensive leadership experience and industry recognition ensure a judging process of the highest calibre and credibility.

Organisations of any size are permitted to self-nominate for consideration.
This fosters an inclusive process by ensuring that small, emerging, or non-traditional companies have the same opportunities as larger, established firms.
Allowing self-nomination removes the dependence on external recommendations from peers or customers, a system which can often favour businesses with greater visibility or a more established presence.
By enabling organisations to put themselves forward, the process encourages diversity among nominees, giving voice and recognition to underrepresented or newer organisations.
Please note: Self-nomination does not guarantee selection or winning. All nominations will be evaluated according to the same criteria to ensure a fair and rigorous process.
