Shining a spotlight on businesses that put Ireland first, the Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2026 return for its fifth consecutive year, with the stage is set for another unforgettable celebration of Irish enterprise.
The event promises an exciting mix of recognition, networking, and celebration, bringing together over 400 Guaranteed Irish members for a night to honour their resilience, innovation, and impact in a rapidly changing business landscape. The awards, proudly sponsored by PTSB, will take place earlier than usual, kicking off awards season in style with a gala event on Thursday, 5th March 2026 at a brand-new venue – soon to be revealed.
Two new categories have been announced for 2026, including Guaranteed Irish Small Business of the Year & an Energy & Utilities category. Other awards will be shining a spotlight on excellence across a range of categories including Sustainability, Retail & E-Commerce, Construction, Food & Beverage, Technology and Pharmaceuticals.
A panel of industry leaders will have the tough job of selecting the finalists and overall winners, who won’t just take home an award – they’ll also be invited to join the prestigious Guaranteed Irish CEO Alumni network.
With many businesses – homegrown and international – navigating uncertain economic terrain, the awards are more than just a night out, they’re a well-earned celebration of commitment to Irish jobs, local communities, and sustainable business practices.
