Fifth jubilee EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program in Croatia open for applications
AmCham Supports the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Program in Croatia.
Applications for the fifth jubilee EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program in Croatia are open for candidates. This global program was created more than 30 years ago to recognize the world’s most successful and innovative entrepreneurs. Today, the competition takes place in more than 60 countries, representing over 90% of the world’s economy. All the national winners gather in Monte Carlo every year, where they compete for the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Previous Croatian Entrepreneur Of The Year programs achieved great success, with more than 110 candidates competing for the award. This year’s nominations are open until 9 November 2018 and the nomination process is available online so entrepreneurs can easily apply via digital platform: geoy.ey.com. In addition, the platform provides an easy way for anyone to recommend an entrepreneur into the program.
All candidates must meet certain general conditions, including having a company which has been established for at least three years and employs at least 20 people. Candidates also need to have significant ownership stake in the company or have a status that affords them a key influence on decision making, with at least 2 years experience in a managerial position.
Just as every year, the winner of the 2018 program will be selected by an independent judging panel and announced at a gala dinner in March 2019. The judging panel is comprised of President and CEO of Atlantic Grupa Emil Tedeschi (President of the judging panel), entrepreneurs and investors Nenad Bakić and Saša Cvetojević, and previous EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award winners – Đuro Horvat of Tehnix (2015), Marko Pipunić of Žito (2016), Mate Rimac of Rimac Automobili (2017), and Alan Sumina of Nanobit (2014).
The program is supported by Raiffeisenbank Austria acting as general sponsor, Tele2 as silver sponsor, Interkapital Group and Wiener osiguranje Vienna Insurance Group as sponsors and American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia and Croatian Employers’ Association as partners.
