What is OBAA
A History of Shining the Spotlight on Business Success
The Ontario Business Achievement Awards (OBAA) were created to celebrate Ontario’s rich history of innovative, ethical and profitable business. Launched in 1983, the OBAAs shine a spotlight on innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that are at the heart of business in Ontario.
In 2007, after partnering with the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade’s Ontario Global Traders Awards, the OBAAs took a lead role in celebrating export success in Ontario!
Each year, hundreds of companies are nominated for their contributions to Ontario’s success as a global player. Companies from all sectors are honoured. OBAA winners are linked by their innovation, drive, creativity and their passion for doing business in Ontario. Over 200 OBAAs have been presented so far, in the proud presence of peers and senior political leaders representing all parts of Ontario.
