Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award

The Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award (SKEA) is Abu Dhabi’s premier business recognition programme, established in 1999 under the patronage of the late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. It recognizes private sector entities that demonstrate measurable economic and eco-social impact, highlighting their contributions to the Emirate’s development. Over more than two decades, SKEA has evolved into a leading platform that assesses and showcases business excellence through an impact-driven model. Today, it holds a distinguished position within Abu Dhabi’s business community as one of the highest and most credible awards, reinforcing the role of the private sector in advancing national priorities.
