Introduction

The GOPIO International Awards 2017 is a grand event to celebrate the success of PIO entrepreneurs and PIO enterprises. The award is to recognize the business successes, ethical entrepreneur leaders and to encourage new entrants to the competitive world of enterprises.

To highlight role models for the young generations to encourage larger growth in the number of entrepreneurs. GOPIO believes that PIO Community with one third in entrepreneurship, will provide for the Community’s sustainable socio-economic growth. GOPIO invites the PIO Community to celebrate these successful entrepreneurs and wish them even greater successes.

The Objectives

The Awards are to recognize role model entrepreneurs to encourage more successful entrepreneurs.

• A larger pool of PIO entrepreneurs will collectively raise the total stake in the country’s economy. As a substantive Entrepreneurial Community and contributing to the country’s growth, PIOs will become more affirmative partners in nation building.
• As an economic partner, PIO Community will be able to engage with the Government and institutions for mutual growth. Dialogues are possible and effective when the participants are all stakeholders and contributors to the country’s economy.
• GOPIO’s campaign that one third of the PIO Community will be entrepreneurs is to initiate a self remedying mechanism to reposition the PIO Community as a merit equity partner in Malaysia’s economy. Further, a larger number of PIO entrepreneurs will help reach out to the needy in the community.
• Together with all PIO associate Organizations, to transit the community into a self-help and entrepreneurial Community.
