Female Fusion, the UAE’s largest community of female entrepreneurs, has announced the opening of entries for the 2025 Female Fusion Awards, celebrating outstanding achievements by women entrepreneurs across 11 distinct business categories.
The Female Fusion Awards recognise and reward excellence, innovation, and leadership among women entrepreneurs who are making a difference in their industries and communities.
Entries are open to all women entrepreneurs in the UAE—both members and non-members of Female Fusion—with judging based on clear evidence of results, innovation, and social or economic contribution.
Celebrating Real Business Success
Unlike many awards in the region, the Female Fusion Awards cannot be bought. Each entry is judged on merit, not on payment or sponsorship. Each submission will be independently judged by an expert panel of business leaders and entrepreneurs, ensuring that every award reflects genuine accomplishment, measurable success, and meaningful impact.
“So many incredible women are building brilliant businesses, but they’re overlooked or asked to pay for recognition,” said Jen Blandos, founder and CEO of Female Fusion. “That never sat right with us. The Female Fusion Awards are our way of changing that – they celebrate real results, real impact, and real achievement.”
Award Categories
The 11 judged categories highlight the breadth of talent and innovation among UAE-based female founders and business leaders:
- Entrepreneur of the Year
- Small Business of the Year
- Solopreneur of the Year
- Young Female Founder of the Year (29 and under)
- Impact & Sustainability Award
- Tech & Innovation Award
- E-commerce Business of the Year
- Professional Services Business of the Year
- Health & Wellness Business of the Year
- Food & Beverage Business of the Year
- Fashion & Beauty Business of the Year
Entries are now open and can be submitted online via femalefusionnetwork.com/awards
All entries will be reviewed by a diverse judging panel of established entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders. Each submission will be evaluated against transparent judging criteria, ensuring credibility and integrity in every award given.

A Platform for Women Entrepreneurs
The Female Fusion Awards aim not only to celebrate success but also to elevate the visibility and credibility of women-owned businesses in the UAE. Winners will join a growing list of founders who represent the strength and diversity of the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
“Recognition should do more than celebrate success – it should help you grow,” said Jen Blandos. “Credible awards have the power to raise visibility, attract opportunity, and strengthen businesses. We want every winner to see that recognition translates into real growth and meaningful support.”
