The honourees for this year were selected through a rigorous evaluation process, taking into account factors such as financial performance, strategic initiatives, market competitiveness, and sustainable business practices.
Baker Tilly Singapore served as the official auditor of the Golden Bull Award, ensuring transparency and integrity in the process, and The Edge Singapore is credited as the program’s official media partner.
The Golden Bull Award covers four markets across the region including mainland China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan, making this the largest recognition programme for SMEs in the region for business excellence.

Concurrently, two companies received the Digital Transformation Awards, a subcategory of the Golden Bull Award to recognise their exceptional achievements in leveraging digital technologies to fuel growth, improve customer experiences, streamline operations and maintain a competitive edge. The two winners are Golden Insurance Brokers and ISO Tank Management.
"While the high standards that we uphold for The Golden Bull have remained unchanged, the market and economic environment in Singapore has certainly become more complex and challenging. Therefore, to be successful in today’s environment, an entrepreneur needs to be agile and resilient, on top of having the business acumen and deep industry knowledge”, says organising chairman and managing director of Audience Analytics William Ng.
