A memorable event is set to take place on Saturday, November 29, from 6 pm until midnight, in the magnificent setting of the Savoy Ballroom at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, on Collins Street, in the heart of Victoria’s capital.
The Italian Business Awards Gala 2025, organised annually by the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Melbourne, will bring together more than 500 industry leaders, entrepreneurs, cultural ambassadors, and professionals united by their passion for Italian excellence and international collaboration.
Amid sparkling chandeliers and an atmosphere of refined elegance, guests will be welcomed with an authentic Italian aperitivo, followed by a gala dinner and open bar, for an evening devoted to culture, networking, and style.
This year’s edition will coincide with the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, celebrating Italy’s rich gastronomic heritage with a menu that blends tradition and creativity, from North to South, in a sensory journey through flavours and regions.
The ceremony will honour those who embody the best of Italian talent and vision through seven award categories: Lifetime Achievement, Italian Business Award (sponsored by IVECO), Italian Businesswoman Award, Young Entrepreneur Award (sponsored by That’s Amore Cheese), Innovation Award, Sustainability Award, and Design Award (sponsored by SMEG).
Applications are already open, with the extended deadline set for October 31, 2025, and the winners will be announced during the gala evening on November 29.
A unique opportunity to celebrate the success, dedication, and creativity of those who contribute every day to shaping the future of the Italian-Australian business community.
