At the country and territory levels, programs begin with nomination[2] of entrepreneurs who demonstrate specific criteria. The award may be given to multiple individuals per year. For example, in the U.S. and other countries, there are multiple regional and category winners, spanning fields such as for retail and consumer products, technology, family business, energy, chemical and mining, food products and services, real estate, hospitality, and construction, financial services, digital media, and transformational ventures.[3] However, in each country, only one company and its leader(s) are recognized as the overall award recipient.[4]
Since 1986, over 10,000 founders, CEOs, and business leaders have received awards,[5] with an average of 400 recipients annually.
