The Zigong Order is a global honor designated for startup entrepreneurs who embody the true spirit of Confucian entrepreneurship.
Selection & Purpose
We do not accept unsolicited applications. Instead, through global media coverage and independent discovery, we identify qualifying entrepreneurs around the world. By presenting them with the Zigong Order Medal, we honor their current business achievements and acts of kindness today, while empowering them to scale their businesses on a continued foundation of goodwill.
Impact & Empowerment
This honor empowers recipients in future business opportunities, helps disseminate the Confucian entrepreneurial spirit, and invites them into a global family of like-minded leaders—ensuring that commerce and benevolence together benefit more people worldwide.
Annual Announcement
On December 15th of each year, we will officially announce the 100 recipients of that year's Zigong Order, welcoming them into a timeless family of commercial wisdom that spans two millennia.
