Backing ideas that matter

Since 2005, the Business Book of the Year Award has celebrated the best ideas in business writing. And after a three-year hiatus, The Bracken Prize is back, celebrating the young thinkers tackling today’s most urgent questions.

At Standard Chartered we’re proud to support both prizes, which champion thought leaders whose work brings clarity to complex issues and offers original perspectives on global business.
