These are the recipients of the 11th KEBE Business Leader Awards

A total of nine business leaders were recognised and awarded at the 11th KEBE Business Leader Awards, an institution that has been turning the spotlight on and honoring business excellence for eleven consecutive years.

During an evening dedicated to those who serve as role models for all, in the presence of the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, the President of the House of Representatives, Annita Demetriou, government and political officials, and of course, the business community of the country, business leaders who have made and continue to make an indelible and decisive mark on Cypriot entrepreneurship were honoured and awarded.
