What is EY Entrepreneur of the Year?
EY Entrepreneur Of The Year, Denmark’s and the world’s most renowned competition for growth creators, is a celebration of the women and men who build and operate successful, expanding, and dynamic companies. EY acknowledges their achievements and their contributions to our society. With EY Entrepreneur Of The Year, EY has recognised the best growth creators in Denmark for over 20 years and has highlighted the most exceptional among a unique group of individuals who create jobs, wealth and introduce new innovative products and concepts to the market. EY is a committed advocate for entrepreneurship and believes that the stories of enterprising women and men who possess the courage and passion to realise their dreams should be shared.
A role model for future entrepreneurs
EY Entrepreneur Of The Year stands apart from other growth competitions by focusing on more than the financial growth of entrepreneurs and companies. In selecting the Growth Creator of the Year, equal emphasis is placed on the entrepreneur’s role, values, and leadership and, notably, their commitment to society.
In this way, EY Entrepreneur Of The Year encompasses the entire company and its DNA. The award is presented to an entrepreneur who serves as a role model for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Selection of candidates
To identify the appropriate winner, experienced consultants conduct in-depth interviews with the candidates. They inquire about the company’s business foundation, strategy, goals, and risks, as well as how the entrepreneur inspires and engages their employees, how the company fosters innovation, and how they aim to make a difference in the market and for society. It is based on these interviews that the independent jury determines who the winners will be.
