Most recently, Bigen was honoured with the National Business of The Year and the Vision 2030 Infrastructure Development Company of the Year Awards at Topco Media’s Vision 2030 Awards function – South Africa’s Future Makers, on 20 November 2019.

These annual awards recognise achievements, success stories, innovation, high ethics and alignment to the government’s Nine-Point Plan to boost economic growth and achieve the milestones set by the National Development Plan (NDP).

This achievement places Bigen at the forefront of national development and reinforces the importance of private and public sector support for and commitment to the NDP.
