The 'Middle East Portals and Web Content Arabization Excellence Award' will honor organization/s from the Middle East region that have played a pioneering role in promoting Arabic IT to keep pace with the globally and technologically progressive era. The award will consider the service excellence, breakthrough achievements, and outstanding contribution of the organization in engaging the Arabic speaking population’s interaction and usage of the internet and thereby bridging the gap between the Arabic and non-Arabic speakers.

In the recent times, there has been a visible and evident rise in the Arabic language content on the web with various initiatives from Google and Taghreedat in raising awareness about the Arabic online contribution.  Researches and studies have shown that the penetration of the Arabic language in the digital world is very less compared to other languages, despite the fact that Arabic is one of the most largely spoken Semitic languages in the world. The Middle East Excellence Awards Institute takes this opportunity to recognize and honor organization/s in the Middle East region that have contributed towards this initiative and increased the language’s internet presence, through partnerships as well as grassroots efforts, to help accelerate digital Arabic content creation.

The Middle East Companies Content Arabization Excellence Awards targets to highlight the digital content dimensions and landscape adopted by various organizations in the Arab region in arabizing the online contents and showcase their success stories to encourage the involvement and participation of other organizations in this initiative.

The Awards categories are specifically formulated to honor the path-breaking leaders in various fields of government and business organizations for their outstanding contribution towards the development of regional competitiveness. Read more
