This year, a record number of 32 countries entered the competition, with the most popular category being “Promoting the Entrepreneurial Spirit”. The Jury meeting took place yesterday in Brussels to review the national entries and decide on the shortlist for the 2015 European Enterprise Promotion Awards. The winners for each of the six categories will be announced at the Awards which will take place at the SME Assembly in Luxembourg on Thursday 19 November.
This year’s Jury was made up of members of the outgoing Latvian Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the current Luxembourg Presidency along with representatives from the European Commission, the Committee of the Regions, business, and academia.
The European Enterprise Promotion Awards showcase the most successful promoters of enterprise and entrepreneurship around Europe. They celebrate the best entrepreneurship policies and practices, create a greater awareness of the role entrepreneurs play in society and encourage and inspire budding entrepreneurs from across Europe.
Since 2006, the Awards have rewarded excellence in promoting entrepreneurship and small business at a national, regional and local level. Watch highlights from the 2014 ceremony here.
