The Association for Corporate Growth New Jersey (ACG NJ) has opened nominations for its 2026 Corporate Growth Awards, recognizing New Jersey’s most accomplished middle-market companies and leaders. Nominations are being accepted now through January 31, 2026.
Award recipients will be announced at ACG NJ’s signature Corporate Growth Awards celebration on Tuesday, May 5, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at The Palace at Somerset Park.
The 2026 Corporate Growth Awards will introduce a refreshed and elevated event format while continuing the program’s long-standing tradition of honoring excellence in the middle market.
The evening will feature expanded networking opportunities, conversations with award honorees, music, cocktails and a dynamic, celebratory atmosphere that brings together New Jersey’s leading executives, investors and dealmakers. Adding to the excitement, ACG NJ will soon announce a high-profile keynote honoree for the event.
“The Corporate Growth Awards are about recognizing the companies and leaders who are driving innovation, creating jobs and strengthening New Jersey’s middle-market economy,” said J. Michael Fischer, Corporate Growth Awards co-chair and managing director at DBD Investment Bank.
“We encourage companies and their peers to submit nominations and help us spotlight the organizations that exemplify growth, resilience and leadership.”
Companies eligible for consideration must have annual revenues of at least $5 million and must be first-time recipients of an ACG NJ award.
Organizations from a wide range of industries — including manufacturing, technology, health care, logistics and others — are encouraged to apply.
Both self-nominations and peer nominations are welcome, offering a valuable opportunity for companies, advisors and stakeholders to highlight outstanding middle-market success stories across the state.
