Founded in the state of Delaware, USA, the award was created to honor the individuals and organizations who are pushing boundaries, redefining their industries, and shaping the future across continents and cultures.

At its core, the Global 1000 Award is a response to a growing need for truly global recognition - recognition that is not limited by geography, language, or industry niche. We believe that outstanding achievement deserves to be seen and validated by a global audience, and that innovation should be rewarded wherever it happens.

Every year, we receive nominations from over 60 countries, representing a rich diversity of voices and accomplishments. Our jury panel includes respected figures from academia, technology, business, creative industries, public service, and science - handpicked from around the world for their integrity, insight, and expertise.

Whether it's a startup disrupting an outdated system, a scientist breaking new ground in research, an artist shifting culture, or a medical team improving human lives - the Global 1000 Award exists to shine a spotlight on the work that moves the world forward.

Through our transparent and rigorous judging process, winners receive more than visibility - they gain validation, credibility, and long-term momentum. We are building not just a list of winners, but a global community of innovators, leaders, and change-makers. Recognition is not a final destination - it's the beginning of a bigger journey. The Global 1000 Award is here to launch that journey - with honor, respect, and global reach.
