The Masters of Industry (MOI) Awards, a platform recognising business excellence across Africa, is set to make an impact on the continent’s economic landscape.

After two successful editions in the United States, the awards are returning to Africa, evolving into a Pan-African platform that spotlights leaders across various sectors.

Convener, Ethelbert Nwanegbo, announced that the 2025 edition of the MOI Awards will take place on Saturday, November 29, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos.

He stated that nominations for this year’s awards are now open, with the theme ‘Trailblazers of a Rising Continent.’

Nwanegbo noted that the awards will honour individuals and organisations that have made a measurable impact across Africa through their leadership, innovation, and ethical decision-making.

“The MOI Awards ceremony will feature a red carpet reception, VIP networking sessions, keynote addresses from African and global business leaders, and the presentation of awards across 18 categories. The awards aim to celebrate Africans driving socio-economic impact on the continent and beyond,” Nwanegbo said in a statement.

“As an offshoot of Business Elites Africa, a Pan-African media brand focused on entrepreneurship, corporate leadership, and wealth creation, the MOI Awards will drive sustainable growth and redefine Africa’s economic landscape.”

The event’s return to Africa marks a significant milestone, underscoring the continent’s growing influence in the global economy. Strategic partnerships and media opportunities are available for sponsors and institutions seeking visibility among Africa’s business leaders.
