On Thursday, 5 November 2026, at a special ceremony in Paris, the capital of France, the global group Top Com presented the Zom project with the Grand Prix Consumer 2026 international award. This is the first time in the history of the international award that a company or project from Kurdistan has reached this stage and been recognized as a trusted brand on the global level.
The award is presented annually to influential organizations that have developed the most successful marketing campaigns and the strongest relationships with consumers. After a thorough assessment of the project’s working methods and quality, the award’s judging panel, made up of 30 international experts, reached its final decision in favor of the Kurdish project.
What attracted the attention of the international panel was not only the quality of its natural products, but also Zom’s economic and social impact on rural communities.
The figures tell the story:
The project has directly provided livelihoods for more than 3,300 livestock-owning families by collecting their products on a daily basis.
More than 400 employees work in the collection, production and distribution processes.
The company’s strategic objective for the future is to fully meet demand in the markets of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq.
