Awards will be presented across a spectrum of industries to top performers from the last year. Industries represented will include Information & Communication Technologies, Automation & Electronics, Chemicals, Materials & Food, Automotive & Transportation and Aerospace & Defence. This cross selection of industries will provide an excellent networking platform and dynamic evening.

The Frost & Sullivan Excellence Awards Banquet will honour companies whose diligence, perseverance, and dedication have enabled them to excel in the increasingly competitive global marketplace.
