About CMIEA
The Sarawak Chief Minister’s Industry Excellence Awards (CMIEA) is the highest state award adopted from the Anugerah Kecemerlangan Industri (AKI) or the national-level Industry Excellence Award. AKI was introduced by Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in 1991 to promote a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation in value creation. Since then, AKI is reputed to be the nation’s premier corporate recognition award.
CMIEA uses the internationally-recognized Business Excellence Framework (BEF) as the benchmark criteria in the evaluation process, in search for world class business excellence.
It is also to encourage businesses to pursue continuous improvement in order to sustain long term competitiveness.
Awards for the winners will be presented at the forthcoming SBF’s Annual Dinner.
