INTRODUCTION

This is the 7th year SMI Association of Malaysia organizes the SME Recognition
Award. This coveted and highly praised business award strives to honor all
crème-de-la-crème SMEs with unique winning quality and to enhance their
intellectual property while reinforcing brand image in the global market space
based on the understanding and respectable status of SMI Association of Malaysia
among the SMEs.
Over the past 7 years, SME Recognition Award has developed a unique assessment
and selection system that promotes healthy competition among Malaysian SMEs. The
selection system provides a strict yet effective and transparent mechanism
coupled with highly reputable judges, which is very well received as a
professional evaluation platform that provides truly credible and honored
recognition to distinctive SMEs.
The culture and assessment system of the SME Recognition Award has also set us
apart because it is not merely the result and quality of the award we are
concerned with, but the future development of all Malaysian SMEs that we
sincerely care for. Every year during the assessment period, our evaluation team
will visit each and every short listed nominees companies, whereby the latest
market information are shared, strengths and weaknesses of each company are
analyzed and briefed, hoping all our short listed candidates will benefit from
this value added yet non-chargeable session. As a result, not only the nominees
increased every year, quality of the participating companies have also increased
tremendously.
