Malawians can expect higher standards in business, increased innovation, and greater community impact as forty of the country’s most outstanding companies are set to be recognised in the 2025 Year-End Business Awards, with voting having already started on Monday, October 20.
The event celebrates excellence in products, services, and entrepreneurship while inspiring entrepreneurs to create jobs, drive growth, and set new benchmarks for enterprise across Malawi.
The country’s business and entrepreneurship publication, National Product Magazine (NPM), is behind the initiative, celebrating its 120th edition with the 2025 Year-End Awards under the theme “Where Innovation Meets Distinction: Celebrating Excellence in Products and Services Across Industries.”
Speaking to the local media on Monday, NPM Executive Director Arthur Chinyamula said the awards aim to recognise and celebrate excellence by honouring outstanding products, services, suppliers, and business leaders across all industries.
“We have about 40 awards up for grabs,” said Chinyamula. “The voting process starts on Monday night and will run for the next two weeks.”
Chinyamula also announced that the NPM Year-End Gala Awards will be held on December 14, 2025, at the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe, and stated that this year’s edition will feature special recognition for women entrepreneurs and media professionals who are making significant contributions to their respective fields.
“This year’s event will also include participation from companies and individuals across the SADC region, including Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique,” he added.
Chinyamula emphasized that they have scheduled the nominations early to allow participants to showcase their products and services, make business presentations, and adequately prepare.
