Evaluation by the Judging Panel:
All eligible submissions are reviewed by an independent Panel of Judges, which includes representatives from the Board of the International Trade Council, the International Centre for Trade Transparency, and selected external advisors. The panel evaluates nominees based on merit, innovation, leadership, and impact.
Pre-Approval or Roll-Over Status:
If your organization has been nominated in previous years, your submission may already be pre-approved for shortlisting under our roll-over system. Please contact us to confirm your status.
Category Allocation & Special Considerations:
While official award categories are published on our website, the Judging Panel may recommend new categories or distinctions based on the unique merits of your nomination. This ensures that innovative companies in niche or emerging fields are also recognized.
Finalist Notification & Event Participation:
Shortlisted companies will be invited to confirm their participation in the in-person Go Global Awards event in London on November 18–19, 2025. Finalists gain full access to the two-day program, including curated B2B meetings, networking receptions, formal dinners, and exposure to media and investors.
Important NotesThe Go Global Awards is not limited to International Trade Council members—we welcome and encourage entries from businesses, NGOs, and institutions worldwide.
While there is no fee to nominate, companies that are selected as finalists will receive an official invitation to attend the event in London. Nominees will be asked to confirm attendance and cover the delegate participation fee, which helps to support program logistics, delegate book printing, B2B match-making preparation, and media production.
Our Judging Panel comprises senior-level experts and international leaders in business, government, and trade. The process is non-partisan, independently reviewed, and conducted with strict adherence to impartiality.
