Gold Coast, Australia (PRUnderground) August 18th, 2026
Australia has delivered a golden statement on the world business stage, with an extraordinary cohort of Australian-connected entrepreneurs, executives and organisations collectively securing 63 Stevie Awards in the 2026 International Business Awards.
Spanning healthcare, disability support, finance, professional services, technology, beauty, property, workplace culture and the creative industries, the winners claimed an impressive 26 Gold, 20 Silver and 17 Bronze Stevie Awards.
Their success places Australian enterprise firmly among the world's best, celebrating not only commercial achievement but also the ingenuity, courage and positive impact being generated by businesses and leaders across the country.
The International Business Awards are among the world's most prestigious and wide-ranging business awards. This year, winners were selected from more than 3,400 nominations submitted by organisations in 82 nations and territories, creating a highly competitive global field.
"Behind every one of these awards is a story of determination, innovation and measurable impact," said Annette Densham from Award Writing Services.
"What makes this result so exciting is the breadth of Australian talent being recognised. These winners are transforming industries, creating stronger communities and proving that businesses do not need to be the biggest in the world to make a world-class impact.
"When you look past the medal count, what I love about this result is the mix of people and businesses behind it. They come from places like Forster, Taree, Dubbo, Griffith, Rockhampton and Mackay, as well as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.
"They're doing work that matters in very practical ways; freeing allied health professionals to spend more time with patients, supporting regional children and families, helping people living with dementia connect through music and movement, backing family businesses with better finance, and creating new approaches across accounting, technology, property, workplace culture, skincare and disability services.
"Together, they received 63 awards. That's almost five per cent of all the Stevie Awards presented worldwide. In a field of more than 3,400 nominations from 82 nations and territories, that says something meaningful about the quality and relevance of the work coming from these Aussie businesses."
