Description:

Live judging for shortlisted entrants for the 2021 Go Global Awards.

The International Trade Council’s Go Global Awards celebrate the companies that are driving the economy forward through their innovations, technologies and strategies.

The Awards bring together hundreds of senior executives from some of the world’s most innovative manufacturers, re-manufacturers and exporters, along with representatives from government bodies, trade associations, venture capital firms and financial institutions.

While the Go Global Awards offer the opportunity to be recognized and honored by their peers it also goes beyond winning trophies and citations. The program aims to build a community of manufacturers, exporters and related service providers to support one another, share ideas, create partnerships and build on their existing knowledge and connections.

Winners gain access to unique international platforms through the extensive International Trade Council’s network of more than 176 countries and over 418 professional organizations worldwide.

Process:

This is a virtual event via the ITC’s web conference platform. Short-listed delegates will receive a link with a username and password prior to the event.

Each short-listed delegate will be given an opportunity to give a 2 minute elevator pitch before the judging panel. The pitch will be broken down as follows:

• About the organization
• Competitive advantages
• Achievements in the last 12 months
• Overcoming covid challenges
• Future goals

Judges will be able to ask questions of the delegates and will then privately score them.

This will be live-streamed on Facebook and Youtube.

Delegates may also participate in round-tables and virtual booths and they will also be able to view other entrants pitches.
