Who We Are

The Commonwealth Partnership Summit & Business Excellence Awards is an international platform dedicated to recognizing excellence, fostering strategic partnerships, and promoting sustainable business growth across the Commonwealth.

Founded by Asha Jayamanne, the initiative was established with a vision to create a high-level forum that brings together distinguished leaders from the corporate, public, and development sectors to collaborate, exchange insights, and celebrate outstanding achievements. Building on the success of the South Asian Partnership Summit & Business Excellence Awards, which has been conducted annually since 2016 across multiple countries in South Asia, the Commonwealth platform was launched to expand this vision to a broader international audience.

Since its inception, the Commonwealth Summit has been successfully hosted across key global locations, including Singapore, South Africa, and Malaysia, reflecting its growing international presence and relevance. The platform continues to attract senior decision-makers, industry leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs, providing a credible and prestigious environment for recognition, dialogue, and collaboration.
