European Enterprise Awards - Pan European Award Campaign
Aim of the project
The European Enterprise Awards, launched by the European Commission, recognise and reward outstanding initiatives that support entrepreneurship at regional level. The awards, which will be launched in 2006, are not only a competition; they also aim to raise public awareness of the positive aspect of enterprise activities and to celebrate entrepreneurial success in developing Europe’s economy.
Each year, pan-European award winners will be identified and will serve as inspiration for others.
The geographical scope of the competition spans the 25 Member States of the European Union as well as Bulgaria, Iceland, Norway, Romania and Turkey.
