Under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Award for Young Business Leaders was established in 2003 to reward exceptional entrepreneurs within the entire nation. For the past few years, the SME sector's best minds have been distinguished with this prestigious award, recognizing their contributions to the city's entrepreneurial community and their respective industries. The award also recognizes individuals and organizations who have aided the development of entrepreneurs across the UAE.

The awards are overseen by a panel of judges, all of whom are, themselves, well-established members of the business community. The awards are divided into several categories, with each category presided over by separate panels of judges.
