Despite the global challenges, the Best in Biz award program saw a strong field of entries from public and private companies of all sizes in both the U.S. and Canada. From some of the most recognizable global brands to the most innovative start-ups, North American businesses have proven their resilience and continuing innovation and growth in spite of the odds. The judges were impressed with this year’s winners’ agility and adaptability that allowed businesses to thrive, and the willingness to always go the extra mile to help their customers.

Best in Biz Awards 2020 honors were conferred in 90 different categories, based on scoring from independent judging panels deliberately composed each year of prominent editors and reporters from some of the most respected publications in North America.

Businesses have risen up to meet unforeseen challenges on the fly, showing adaptability, creativity and toughness. It was tough to choose between so many worthy and inspiring entries and all of the entries deserve acclaim.”
